Karen’s place is a beautiful, bright, clean studio apartment with a full kitchen and bath. She was extremely kind and communicative, and lives on the premises so she is easily reachable. The studio is steps away from a practically private beach. Only minutes from iconic Venice Beach and downtown Santa Monica, it was easy to plan spur of the moment activities and dining. Loved the peace and quiet of Marina del Rey, it was a welcome sanctuary from the hustle and bustle further North. We would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a beautiful beachside vacation.
