This is a nice, airy house in a quiet family neighborhood that is extremely safe and close to the beach and hiking. The decor is modern eclectic and the space is filled with fun artistic touches. The backyard is great for young kids to run around. You can walk two blocks to some cliffs and watch the sunset! Many neighbors will be out walking their dogs. You can also walk or drive 1-mile to "town," where we had a few meals. Also, the Santa Monica mountains trailhead is one mile away. We had a great stay in this home! The house was very clean and the host was quick to respond and helpful for restaurant recs, etc.
