What a fabulous place! Darlene’s place is beautiful, it feels very spacious and also private, the shower and bathroom facilities are great and the bed is so comfortable and soft! The location in Santa Monica was perfect, we went out for breakfast and dinner in the local area every day and walked everywhere. Darlene is so lovely and welcoming and we loved her little dogs and the bearded dragons too! It was perfect for our needs and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a place to stay in LA. And the homemade muffins were a delicious extra touch :)
