The place was just great and the yard and the pool were fantastic!

Will definitely come back in this perfect spot on our next visit to Santa Monica!

Guest house is located in a quiet, safe neighborhood in good proximity to Santa Monica activities (beach, pier, etc). Walking distance to Montana businesses including whole foods grocery, Vons and trader Joe's are a short drive away. The space itself is clean and pretty new. Has everything you need although the kitchen is fairly minimal and there are no cooking ingredients (oil, spices, etc) so bring your own but all pans pots utensils etc are provided and there's a dishwasher. The area is quiet and there's a nice yard with a pool, although the pool is not gated so we had to be quite vigilant since we were staying with little kids. I guess the owner isn't familiar with curb your enthusiasm ;) we did check with the owner about the pool before staying so we don't feel misled, just wish it was gated.The only other issue we had was communication. Owner was not present or reachable on check in day and took a while to respond otherwise. Luckily we figured out how to get inside and didn't need much during our stay so it wasn't a major issue for us. Overall we enjoyed our stay and would stay here again when my kids are older.

The rental was in a very quiet and beautiful section of Santa Monica. Parking was very easy and the apartment very comfortable and modern. My only wish would have been for a full length mirror, other than that it was perfect! Thank you!!:)
