Beth’s apartment/condo was ideal.
The area is close to amenities - easy to walk to cafes or a short drive to shops. We even walked to Santa Monica beach.
The area and house are incredibly safe.
Beth made us feel extremely welcomed - even staying up to help us arrive after our flight was delayed, meaning we didn’t arrive til 2.30am.
The apartment is super clean and had everything we needed.
Only thing to mention, as we got caught out by this, is that on certain days of the week the streets are cleaned, so make sure to check this otherwise you will incur a parking fine.
I would highly recommend staying at Beth’s if you’re ever thinking of visiting LA/Santa Monica.
