This unique, artful, and absolutely beautiful home was the perfect base for enjoying a month in Santa Monica. When we were in, we appreciated the cook's kitchen, the host's eclectic international cookware and abundant pots and pans, and the pleasures of dining in the gorgeous dining are or on the wrap around patio surrounded by bamboo, eucalyptus, succulents, and herbs. We relaxed indoors and out with books and conversation, and we entertained our daughter and friends. The perfect location put us within easy walking distance of so many great restaurants in the Main Street, Rose, and Abbott Kinney neighborhoods; morning and sunset beach walks; and neighborhood explorations. I dreamed of never leaving. The reviewers before me, the photographs, and the name say it all: a Zen Oasis. We left refreshed and renewed. Thank you Stephanie for being the BEST host!
