I was recently in SoCal and other than a couple vacation days and presenting a workshop in LA most of the time was spent working remotely on my computer. The lovely cottage Where I stayed was surrounded by gardens and was extremely comfortable ........I felt at home. It was extremely clean and offered amenities that you would find in a fine hotel plus much more. if I had to have a place for a long-term stay this would be the place. The host was charming and helpful, the location was convenient to LAX and downtown LA, while close to the beach and to all Santa Monica has to offer. I highly recommend this Airbnb.
