Let's start with location -- five blocks to Palisades Park where a staircase takes you to the beach, five blocks to Third St promenade where you shop & dine, shorter to Montana Ave for the same. Plus an easy walk to Santa Monica Pier. We went out a lot but loved the home comforts, too -- best bed ever, big bathroom, well-stocked kitchen, space for our computers, fast Wifi and two premium channels on big-screen TV. Plus a personally guided tour by Robert to start us off. Needless to say we'll be back. Howard & Diana (Maryland)
