Stephen and Helen were very welcoming and very nice. I stayed at their place for a weekend after a work conference in Santa Monica. The guesthouse was exactly as posted. It was a beautiful studio perfect for two people. It was clean, quiet and private enough. I absolutely loved their garden and waterfall. They're also in a great location -- about 20 minutes from LAX, a short drive downtown Santa Monica, Palisades etc., If I ever find myself in Santa Monica again-- they will be my first choice!
