Stephanie is a very sweet and gentle person. She was a perfect host. Had a basket full of healthy food with fruit, bread and cheese ready for us when we arrived with a warm welcome sign written in Italian. She was very helpful with precious information about any of our interests and needs. She promptly provided a second parking permit upon our request.
The place was very comfortable and very clean. It had everything we needed and the location was very quiet. The neighbors were friendly. We enjoyed cooking out on the patio a few times. Took the bus to the beach several times from a convenient bus stop nearby.
I would definitely recommend this place for a vacation in Santa Monica away from the crowded touristy area.
