My boyfriend and I absolutely loved staying here. I think for the first half hour all I said was "It's so nice!" The place was very clean and artfully decorated, with so many thoughtful touches. As someone else mentioned, it's a busy street but there's a ton of parking and once through the gate you're in a leafy, secluded, quiet spot.

The location was very convenient for us in terms of both seeing friends in Santa Monica and jumping on the freeway to go downtown. We didn't get a chance to meet Petrula, but she communicated well beforehand and left for us detailed information, a map with her favorite nearby spots, and wonderful treats in the kitchen. Highly recommend--great experience, great value.
