We usually stay at a hotel in Santa Monica but Chip's loft was absolutely superior in every way. The loft was spotless upon arrival and having the concierge meet us to show us everything and hand deliver keys was appreciated. The gated driveway and residence with parking spot made us feel very secure. The kitchen was completely equipped for cooking of any kind and spotless, (Note: No microwave, but we didn't want or need one). The double bedded guest room was perfect for two teens and the master with two small outdoor seating balconies was great. It felt like a five star hotel with the convenience of my own kitchen and plenty of space to stretch out and relax. The bikes were great, the location was two blocks to Abbot Kinney and about 8-9 blocks down to the nice part of the Venice beach where you can surf. Very peaceful and quiet at night even with windows open. 5 minute drive to Main Street Santa Monica. Both Chip and his concierge were completely accessible and responsive for even the littlest detail (like the bike lock combination). I love this loft and will stay again if I can.
