This house exceeded our expectations. The location was stunning, facing the Santa Monica Mountains. It sits above a lovely hidden lakeside community where we enjoyed walking. It feels far removed, like a European Villa but only minutes from shops and restaurants. I felt very safe in the area but even more so as we were set in a large courtyard behind a gate. It has a very Modern-Open-Airy-Flowing Floor Plan with access from most rooms to the outside. The pool area had very comfortable seating. The kitchen was spotless and well equipped. Russel’s instructions were clearly written out but he also responded by text within minutes to any questions we had. Within an hour of our arrival my husband announced we were coming back!
