Staying at the Getty House was a truly delightful and relaxing experience. Besides being gorgeous, airy and located a few blocks to the beach in one of the nicest parts of Santa Monica, the house itself is well-designed for indoor-outdoor living, with floor-to-ceiling windows that open up to the outdoors in both the living room and master bedroom. It would indeed be fabulous for a couple who appreciate seclusion but want to be close to everything. Urth Cafe is nearby as is under-the-radar Rose Street in Venice for local brunch options and nightlife. I wouldn't miss the Santa Monica Farmers Market on Wednesdays, Saturdays and Sundays or famous Abbott Kinney either. The location, which feels like four blocks to the beach, makes running or biking along the coast really convenient also. Robert himself is friendly and professional and a pleasure to work with.
