Shelley was a gem, the perfect host. She provided a lovely, clean guest house with lots of little warm touches such as fresh baked, delicious, bar cookies, bottled water/tea and some lovely samples for the bath. The bed was comfortable and her wrap around desk worked very well for the 2 of us to set up our computers. There was plenty of room to stretch out and she had more than enough dining table/desk chair seating inside and out (as pictured) but there was no lounge type chairs (not a knock, just a notation as it was unimportant to our stay). Communication is important to me during these stays and Shelley made it so easy, even shooting us a text alert to the Santa Monica fireworks that were scheduled that evening. The neighborhood was quiet and an easy 5 minute drive to restaurants and the beach.
