Location was great, a quiet dead-end street and parking was easy. Quick walk to Whole Foods and other fun restaurants on Rose Ave. An easy 25 min walk to beach or bike there in 10. I was a solo traveler so space worked fine for me. Backyard was a mini-oasis. Bed and linens were super comfortable. This is a very typical Santa Monica/Venice bungalow/cottage and isn't new construction so it has some small quirks, but nothing deal-breaking. Strong wifi, shower pressure and hot water was great. Light filled space so if you need darkness to sleep-in bring a mask. Julie and I chatted first night and she was very friendly and accommodating.
