The house was beautiful inside and out with an amazing view from the rooftop patio. Our group had a wonderful evening and cooked dinner on the rooftop bbq. Even better than the rooftop deck itself was the second level of the rooftop which seats 4-5 comfortably which provided an epic 360 panoramic view of Santa Monica. Location wise the house was close to several restaurants and shopping all within walking distance. Having come all the way from DC, i did not know the area or what to expect, but was very pleased with the accommodations.
