Cara was very communicative and always available. She checked in the first day to make sure my arrival went smoothly and then followed up the next day to make sure I had everything I needed. This place really is a hidden gem. The garden is beyond delightful, so well cared for & just stunning!! The apartment compliments the the garden with its shabby chic country decor. Hummingbirds are everywhere! I am someone who prefers to cook my own meals so a fully equipped kitchen like this one was really important to me. This has been my favorite stay in Santa Monica and I already booked another stay.
