Liz's place is fantastic. The location is the best for LA; close to the beach, shops and lots of cool restaurants and bars. Everything is in walking distance, it's even close enough to walk the beach to Venice and enjoy the vibe there.
The apartment is beach facing, and a delightful beachy, homely vibe. I just loved waking up to the beautiful view on her balcony, with a cup of coffee and Albee by my side had everyday started with a smile.
Liz is such a lovely person, she's funny, she's so knowledgeable on all things LA and she is very accommodating.
Highly recommend Liz and her lovely home - it'll be the best decision you make about visiting Santa Monica.
