Katherine was extremely hospitable and easy to communicate with through the booking process. The house itself was clean, and accommodated myself and my husband and our 2-year old and friends with a 7 month old quite well. The yard was perfect for hanging out in while the kiddies slept, and we took advantage of the grill and fire pit. The location of the house was perfect for access to the beach and central Santa Monica, as well as easy access to Venice. Only 25 mins to LAX too! There's shops, restaurants, a market, and a yoga studio around the corner that we frequented. We loved the house and our stay and hope to return soon.
