In a word, this place is idyllic and a perfect getaway in lush Santa Monica. Rachel was a fabulous host and when my train was delayed so that my arrival was set to 4AM, instructions were perfectly clear and unobtrusive for how I should enter the unit. The unit itself is a bit small, but very homey and comes with all the essentials. Best of all opens to a beautiful garden overflowing with plants and buzzing with the humming birds that frequent it.
The location in Santa Monica is very residential (read: the air smells divine and it is so lovely to walk around there) but close to Montana and Wilshire Street, which are lined with cafes, salons, and other great restaurants. Santa Monica also has a new bus initiative that makes it very convenient to travel anywhere.
The room itself is super comfortable and cozy. I wouldn't mind living a month here and comes with full amenities. The only thing is that the wifi is a bit slow, but is good enough for anything except video calls.
Overall, I cannot recommend this place enough.
