Our stay was great and location was not bad at all. Our first time in CA and this home made it much more enjoyable. We could have used more pillows for sleeping and more comfortable seating in the living room for everyone (it was 6 of us) but we didn’t stay in the house much so we managed. The home was very clean! Great location, close stores nearby to get groceries and things, and about 1hr give or take for everything that we wanted to do…we visited multiple beaches including Santa Monica and Venice and also Universal Studios and with normal CA traffic the commutes were not bad. Definitely will be returning and looking out for availability at this gem of a stay!
