Had a lovely stay at Stephens with my 9 month old and nanny in tow. Although the house is on a very busy intersection, it’s surprisingly quiet inside and there are a few noise makers in the house that were used successfully. The location is excellent for walking to the beach and to Main St Santa Monica. The beds were extremely comfortable and the bathrooms had great showers and soap, shampoo and conditioner which was appreciated. For the cost of this place comparative to others in the neighborhood that I’ve stayed in, it was less bang for the buck… but I may have come during peak season, not sure. Communication was excellent with host, and house was very clean! We didn’t use the bikes but the house has bikes and beach chairs/towels for use which is a great perk. The only suggestion I would have is to have cooking oils and spices. There wasn’t even salt, just some pepper most likely left over from another guest. For $600/night I’d expect a spice rack and cooking oils. Also the bedroom downstairs is more of a bed nook… right off the dining room, no closet etc. Just be aware of that going into it. It worked for my group perfectly fine!
