Loved Lorna’s apartment! It is so cute and welcoming! We loved the front porch and had our breakfasts out there every morning. We appreciated the full kitchen. It met our needs perfectly. Also appreciated the large closet and dresser as I like to unpack our suitcases when we are on a vacation. The location was ideal for us. Very walkable to the beach and close to our favorite restaurants. Thank you Lorna for a wonderful stay!

Easy location to visit UCLA, USC, and other universities in the area. Quick walk to the beach and to good restaurants. The kitchen and bathroom are well-equipped. We enjoyed breakfasts and dinners on the porch nearly every day of our six day stay. Parking is free and plentiful. Highly recommend running on the ocean strand. Lorna was pleasant and easy to communicate with. We didn’t really need anything, but having her so close by was nice in case of emergency. If our teen chooses a So Cal school this could be our visiting base.

This listing is in a great location. It is within an easy one minute stroll to a really nice playground/park. The overall space is not huge but the kitchen area is fullsize and nice and can accommodate you making any meal. The proprietor is really nice and helpful. Very comfortable 11-day stay for us.

My mother & I had a fantastic stay. She came to visit the city & we had so much to do near the VRBO. Short distance to the beach. Located close to great coffee shops and restaurants. It was quiet, clean, & close to everything we needed!

We had a nice stay at the apartment in Santa Monica. It met our expectations. With a little ambition you could walk to Venice Beach, downtown Santa Monica and the ocean. Parking was convenient and easy. The owner told us of a nice laundromat nearby (we stayed 10 days). She was also helpful with restaurant and sight-seeing advice. My wife found a park nearby to play pickleball. Our main lesson-learned involved local weather issues which the owner cannot control. It's a bit cool near the ocean in Santa Monica in April. This can be amplified if the "marine layer" does not burn off during the day. If it's a higher probability of warm, sunny weather you're looking for while still being in the LA area in April, suggest you stay east of downtown LA in a place like Pasadena.

So glad we stayed here. The room was very pretty and clean. Perfect size for me and my husband I loved the neighborhood. Easy to walk to the beach and to my favorite breakfast restaurant Urth. No complaints. I think anyone would be happy staying here.

I very much enjoyed my stay at this unit--lots of old world charm (wonderful high ceilings) and enjoyed walkability to parks, the beach, and Main Street.

A perfect place to stay as a couple. Very clean, nice kitchen, great part of town. Lorna is a very good communicator and would highly recommend staying at her place!

My daughter and i really enjoyed our stay here and would come again.

Great place to stay for a quick visit to CA in January.

Good location. Nice size for 2-3 people. Host has beach towels. chairs and cooler for beach excursions. The only minor frustration was lack of hot water in kitchen and bathroom sinks. (Not an issue for the shower.)

Great location with good access to the Pacific Coast Highway or to the Santa Monica freeway in to Los Angeles. Plenty of parking with the provided permit. A few good restaurants nearby - Sadtha and Sushi Hanashi.

This place checked all the boxes for a busy work trip with some family time in the neighborhood. The full kitchen was great, the bed and tub were wonderful. A little sound spill from owners unit. Would stay again!

Great little guest quarters in a charming, historic home on a quiet street. The place is small (think studio size) but perfect for a couple or someone with children. My pre-teen daughter was very cozy on the little fold down futon (we used the mattress topper provided for extra comfort!). The kitchen is also small but well stocked and just enough space for my kids and I to snack and make a couple simple, small meals. Beach was in walking distance for me but a bit far for the kids to make the trek back and forth so we mostly drove. It’s about five minutes to the beach and five or so to the pier and promenade. Would definitely recommend a stay here!

This is a reasonably priced, convenient place to stay next time you come to Santa Monica! Close to the major places we went to and you can walk the beach every morning. The home is well stocked and owner was quick to respond to any of our questions. Will be back!

Very sweet and comfortable place in Santa Monica! Apartment is well stocked and Owner has thought of everything - would stay again! Thank you!

We were traveling to LA with our grandson for a Dodgers game. Lorna's place was perfect. Great location to fun in Santa Monica and convenient for Uber pick up when needed.

Very easy and wonderful

We loved our stay. We needed additional supplies and got them in about an hour. Very responsive. Neighborhood was quiet yet convenient to many of the Santa Monica attractions. No complaints at all. We would definitely stay here again.

Thank you for a wonderful stay in Santa Monica! I will definitely stay here again and skip the hotels!

Five out of five! Would love to come back again.

Safe, clean, comfortable, cozy and super cute. Was a perfect place for my 10 year old son and I to be for a few days. Although the neighborhood felt very quiet and safe, I was glad we had a rental car because walking around an unfamiliar neighborhood in the evening in search of a restaurant would have made me nervous. And the house is technically walking distance from the beach, but still a good distance. We parked at the beach and were glad we did because we were pooped at the end of the day and wouldnt have wanted to walk back to the rental.

The house is located in an amazing area, close to everything (Restaurants, beach, grocery stores,m…) everything was super clean and we felt like at home (or even better) Lorna was super nice with us during all the stay and was always on top (Ex. She let us know in advance that workers would be in the area so since we’re wfh this was good to know ) Overall the whole stay was 10/10

Perfect one bedroom unit for 2 people. Great location and had everything we needed!
