Lisette is such a wonderful host. She took care of me like I was a family member. And her house is absolutely beautiful in every little detail. Great design! I liked the area very much too. It's beautiful and very quiet. Don't expect any night life within a walking distance. But it's just 5 minutes drive to Sunset Blv and the beach and 15 minutes drive on PCH (with a great view over the Pacific) to downtown Santa Monica. I really enjoyed my stay.
