Our family had a wonderful time staying at Kathy's place. She was a wonderful host and super responsive to any needs that surfaced during our stay. This place is centrally located to Santa Monica and Malibu - an easy drive either way. The house was great. The kitchen was well stocked with all the basics and just down the street from a grocery store. My favorite part of the house was the indoor/outdoor living feel. The attention to detail in the backyard was great. Unfortunately the Jacuzzi wasn't functioning during our stay, but the company was out to try and repair while we were there. I would definitely return to this house on our next family trip to LA.
