Liz's Place turned out to be an awesome decision for my son and I. We stayed three nights in Santa Monica and Liz made exceptional accommodations. First, let me say the place is clean. We had a nice room with all the accommodations that we needed...in fact, it was more than we expected! She had nice little touches that made our stay more comfortable. Next, the area is very safe. My son and I walked/rode scooters at night and felt very safe in doing so. The location was close to everything, the beach, the Promenade, restaurants, etc. However, it was quiet also. She provides free parking and it's easy and convenient. Lastly, let me tell you that Liz is a doll. She was so helpful with navigation and the do's and don'ts in LA. She was quick to provide her laptop and helped me plan our adventures. It truly was a blessing in the end and I hope you get to enjoy Liz's Place. You will be very glad you stayed here....did I mention she's a doll?????
