Caroline's place has a nice layout and thoughtful furnishings with the added bonus of a parking space. It's centrally located, with a 20min walk to the beach/promenade/pier as well as an easy drive to Venice or Malibu. We appreciated that the neighborhood felt safe to walk around, and the beautiful back garden provided a nice and more private place to relax and enjoy the gorgeous weather. Caroline was very communicative and super responsive leading up to and during our stay - we would definitely recommend her place for your trip to Santa Monica!
