Michele's place is very comfy, close to the beach -- great for working from Santa Monica for a few days, and hopping into the ocean at the end of the day. The place is spacious and bright, and it has all you need!
A small downside if you're sensitive to noise: when the windows are open (when it's hot), you can hear the neighbors' garage. Thankfully the windows are double paned, so it's not a problem when they're closed.
