We loved staying at Tom's place. The hosts were very responsive before the trip and helpful with logistics. Everything was exactly as they said it would be for check in and we found the place with ease. The only thing that I wish was made clear in the description before booking is that the house is located on a pedestrian walk way. It does indicate there are stairs but there is two flights on tough stairs. It was fine for the young people in our party but tough for the older in laws to walk the stairs from the beach lot. It ended up working out just fine tho. And there is a good drop off on Ocean Avenue where the stairs can be avoided. But we were so close to the beach and Santa Monica that it was simply perfect. Thanks Tom. Can't wait to come back!
