What an incredible place! The view is absolutely stunning, the apartment is new and spotless, and the location was a perfect get away in the Santa Monica mountains, one of my favorite places on earth. Our lovely hosts even left us wine and a welcome note! It was slightly less private than I thought it would be, only because to see the ocean the window shades have to be wide open, and the entire front of the house is windows, but it didn't turn out to be a problem at all. I LOVED this place and hope to stay there again soon!
