Santa Monica, the last stop on the historical Route 66, is a biking and walking city and has great local transportation. You can relax outdoors or enjoy local entertainment with bars, nightlife, shopping and movie theaters. We are just blocks away from Santa Monica Beach and Pier, Third Street Promenade, Montana Avenue. Also nearby and walkable for avid walkers are Santa Monica's Main Street, the Venice Boardwalk and Abbot Kinney Boulevard. We have one bike and there are bike rental stores as well as rental docks for bikes, e-bikes, and e-scooters throughout the city. The bike path is just outside our home and leads to miles of beaches just a few blocks away.
There are plenty of hiking areas in the nearby Santa Monica Mountains. With a car, or bus you can easily visit Malibu, Beverly Hills, Downtown Los Angeles, Hollywood, Pasadena, Disneyland, Universal Studios, or other beach towns along the California Coastline.

About Our Family
I am Collette, a Certified Public Accountant and I live part time in Santa Monica and part time in the Netherlands. My daughter Sofia lives full time with her Husband Max in the Netherlands. We enjoy traveling within the United States and around the world. We sometimes travel together and sometimes I travel alone or with close friends.
Lifestyle
We have an active lifestyle. Because Santa Monica is a walking city we are able to walk most everywhere we go. I enjoy getting my exercise walking or biking while enjoying a view of the Pacific Ocean.
Santa Monica, and Southern California in general, has amazing weather year-round so we are almost always able to enjoy the outdoors. When the rain does appear, we get the most amazing days that follow allowing us to see the islands off of our beaches. In the summer the weather is not too hot, I would say we average about 70 Fahrenheit, 21 Celsius for most of the year.

IE1074Collette's place is ideally situated, within walking distance of the beach and all the amenities of Santa Monica. We had everything we could want in her apartment. She responded to all my questions! We had a non simultaneous exchange and it worked out great for us. We would certainly recommend Collette and her place.
