Cara's garden getaway was the perfect quiet escape but was close enough to downtown Santa Monica to get the best of both worlds. Cara herself was very responsive and accommodating, and the restaurants nearby (especially Bodega, Huckeberry Cafe and the Poke) were highlights of the cuisine in the immediate vicinity. Electric scooters were available all around which made the beach and promenade extremely accessible. The King bed was so comfortable, and the kitchen was more than stocked with everything we needed. Thank you to Cara for being such a fabulous host with such a fabulous destination. We can't wait to be back someday!
