I love in the SF Bay Area. My 16 year old daughter has a friend in the Los Angeles area that she has been asking me to visit for months. Finally we found a week (M-F) that we could get away. The Friend is in Fullerton but I wanted to stay someplace near the ocean that we could afford. Todd's place fit the bill and the location was PERFECT. It came with a parking space but there was always street parking available too. A very short walk to a street with everything you could want and a little farther and your at the perfect Southern California beach. Aside from the drive to Fullerton we just stayed in the area around Todd's place and really did not need to go elsewhere to have a great week. Todd was great at getting back to me to confirm the details check-in was super easy. I love this place and I want to go back the next time I need the Santa Monica experience.
