My partner and I stayed at Charlotte's place as a little getaway from the grey BC winter. We had been to Santa Monica a few times before, so wanted a something nestled among neighbours and away from the touristy areas. This place was perfect. We checked ourselves in, I met Charlotte briefly after who warmly welcomed us and made sure we knew to ask questions if needed. The apartment is lovely, with beautiful seating outside which I'm sure would be amazing in summer (temperatures were a little too chilly in January to sit outside). It's on a quiet residential street surrounded by tropical plants. We loved out stay here!
