I stayed at this property on the occasion of a UCLA graduation. The guesthouse is clean, comfortable, and has everything you need. It is about a 30 minute walk to the Santa Monica Pier. The one drawback is that unfortunately, there are quite a few homeless people in this area. Being out early in the morning to get coffee I encountered quite a few of them.

If you want to experience Santa Monica like you live there, this location is tops.

Met the hosts on our arrival and they were very helpful with tips for food shopping, parking, etc. The unit was very accurately described and represented in the pictures. Hosts were home the entire time but gave us all the space we needed and it felt very private. About 30 minute walk to the pier, 20 minutes to shops and restaurants. If staying a few days, would recommend renting a bike so you’re just ten minutes from the beach and can easily get to Venice too. Plenty of bike lanes to get around safely. We loved having easy access to hustle and energy of downtown and beach but could relax in quiet once we got back to the VRBO. Would definitely stay there again.

This room was sufficient and convenient. Not luxurious but worked well as a place to sleep.

Fabulous

Nice, safe attractive neighborhood. Close to shops, grocery store

The unit was perfect for my son and me, and the owners were wonderfully helpful, friendly and responsive to our inquiries.

Stayed for a couple days on my first solo vacation . Unfortunately rained the entire time I was there but made the best of it! Good Location. Everything is within walking/biking distance. Nice little convenient apartment. If I come back to Santa Monica I'll stay here again!

Once more, returning to this fabulous spot is like coming home again! We love this place, so peaceful and close to many amenities such as the co-op and the light rail service, and still walkable to the beach. Thank you for another fabulous stay!!!

Property manager was exceptional and helped us with vrbo dispute! Thank you!

Great place, very comfortable, gracious host

Property was very clean and owner was helpful and efficient. We enjoyed our visit.

My husband and I stayed here for a week to be close to our kids and grandkids who live nearby. This unit is extremely comfortable and immaculately clean. The owner is warm and friendly - we couldn’t have picked a better place!

We really enjoyed our time here! The property was as described, clean, and in a really convenient location. Easy quick walk to the metro, and in a neighborhood where you could walk to groceries or errands in a 15 minute radius or so. Parking was easy and never a problem. Metro gets you to downtown/the pier area quickly. The loft bed is just a mattress on a platform, so maybe not ideal for someone older. It’s not a luxury stay, but it was great for a short getaway with my sibling. All in all, we really enjoyed our trip and appreciated being able to stay here.

This is a wonderful place to stay for anyone visiting Santa Monica! The place is super clean, cozy indoors, plenty of space outdoors to relax and near all you need. The owners are extremely accommodating and helpful if you need them!

We really enjoyed our stay at this property. First of all, the location is great. It’s walkable to the beach and downtown, but if you want to save your legs, it’s only half a block to a Metro station that brings you right downtown Santa Monica. We used it often and it worked out wonderfully. The property is also super quiet; possibly the quietest rental I’ve ever stayed in. The host was super nice and helpful. She was there when we arrived and explained some things about the property and gave some recommendations for the area like where to find grocery stores. Communication beforehand was also great; very clear instructions on how to check in. The best feature of all is that there’s a full kitchen with full size appliances! It felt luxurious. We love Santa Monica and would definitely stay here again.

Thanks for a nice stay in Santa Monica.

Enjoyed our extended stay and our welcoming hosts. Location is convenient to shops, the beach, metro and groceries. Property is on the back of the lot. safely away from the road. Weather was unusually hot and AC was not super strong but when things cooled at night, no issues. Apartment has all you need — equipped kitchen, beach chairs and towels, and outside patio seating. Great hosts! Thank you.

Easy check in. Safe area.

The space was perfect size for my sister and I. Emanuelle was very accommodating and available to address any issues that may arise or questions you may have about the area. It's walking distance to the metro, DK Donuts, Pono Burger, multiple coffee shops, Co-Op grocery store. It's about a 30 minute walk or a less than 10 minute drive to the Santa Monica Pier, Santa Monica beach, Ralph's, Vons, and 3rd Street Promenade outdoor shopping mall. There is ample parking at the apt and there are parking garages at the Pier. The apt was close to the highway if you wanted to get to LA, Hollywood, or anywhere else outside of Santa Monica. We didn't mind walking so we walked pretty much everywhere. If you wanted you could walk from the Santa Monica Pier to Venice Beach. Emmanuelle was an amazing host and provided beach towels, beach mat, chairs, and umbrella for us to use. In the apt there were ample towels (though I wish there were face towels). The washer and dryer was most needed after all of that walking. The kitchen was adequately stocked with dishware, cooking and eating utensils, microwave, stove/oven, and toaster oven. There were also pots and various spices and tea in the cupboards. There was sand throughout the unit but nothing that we couldn't get up with the dust pan and broom located in the apt. We couldn't visually see the sand on the floor; only felt it when we took our shoes off. Again, it was to be expected considering the bare floors and distance from the beach. There are homeless people walking around but none of them bothered us. Overall, great place, great location, great host. We would definitely stay here again. Thank you for such great hospitality!

Emmanuelle's property was clean, comfortable and exactly as listed. Emmanuelle was so friendly, super communicative and we would absolutely recommend this place for anyone looking for a cute place to stay in Santa Monica!

Great location - walking distance to groceries and restaurants. Good jumping off point for all the museums and coast drive. Quiet and pleasant neighborhood. Owner lives on property and she was very friendly.

Everything was as advertised. It was convenient to be so close to the train and enjoyed our trips to the beach and pier with no problems!

I would certainly stay again.

Our stay here was fantastic. It was about a 20 minute walk from the beach, a 15 minute walk from a great outdoor mall, and about a 25 minute drive to West Hollywood. There was also a supermarket and a coffee shop right around the corner. This is a guest house in the backyard of the host’s home, which was so convenient if we ever needed anything. Emmanuelle was extremely kind, friendly, and overall a great host. Would absolutely stay here again!

This property was just what I had expected. It was a perfect spot for what we wanted & needed. I loved that this property was on a quite street, It was separated from the main house. It was everything that I pictured from all the pics that were supplied. Very informative property owner, Non intrusive. & supplied us with Metro passes, but we did not use them. But that was a nice bonus. This location was perfect to get to all the main spots we wanted to go to. It is NOT close enough to the beach if that is what you want from this location. However... If you are a walker, then YES. & the Metro does go towards the beach, But I was ok with that because we had a rental car, which they supplied us with a Parking pass, which was key! we did not use all the kitchen amenities, but great that it was a option. The ONLY thing that I felt that could of been better was The Towels in the bathroom. They could of been newer/softer towels. However that did not stop me from enjoying my stay here. I strongly give this location An "A" or a 4 STAR Rating in my Book. If I do return, I sure will book here again. Keep Up the great Job!

Our stay at this Mid-City rental was great! First off, communication from Emmanuel was excellent both before and during our stay. The house rules and tips for enjoying ourselves (and parking!) in Santa Monica were a big plus. The place was tucked in the neighborhood, and very convenient to walk, drive, or hop on the light rail from. We felt cozy in the space, with everything we needed for both function and comfort.

The perfect place to stay in LA. Great location. Lovely hosts. Book it today.
