Stayed at Scott's place with two adults and our two daughters (1.5 and 3.5 years old). Scott was extremely friendly and welcoming and shared great recommendations about things to do in Santa Monica and beyond. The unit is a full apartment in a three apartment building and we had tons of space. Always had street parking right in front or very near the unit. It was very helpful to have a large walk-in closet in addition to the bedrooms so we could spread out in there and still enjoy the decor and layout in the rest of the unit. As a licensed hotel dwelling, Scott offered the full suite of amenities that you would expect in a hotel but went above and beyond with personal touches throughout our stay. We enjoyed using the barbecue out back and enjoyed the large screen tv and wide selection of movies after putting the kids to bed.
I would strongly recommend it for a family looking for a central spot in Santa Monica from where to explore LA.
