We are very happy of our stay at Tony and Claudia's cottage. We met Tony first at our arrival (and Syd, the rescue dog of the house). Tony was very easy/flexible with the time of our arrival. We felt very welcome and Tony is a very easy going guy. The cottage was exactly as we expected it to be. The location is just perfect. If you like good restaurants, yoga and Whole Food Store, it is the ideal place! There are also 2 laundromats nearby.
The beach isn't far, just 5 mn away. We used the bikes everyday and Santa Monica Pier isn't so far, so you can park you bike there and walk up to the 3rd avenue/Santa Monica for shopping, power yoga...
We met Claudia few days after our arrival. Very sweet and friendly too.
The cottage is quiet and very cosy. The umbrella and the "beach rug" were very useful.
