I had a great time overall. Lara, was a great host and the place was to the close to Santa Monica beach and all the shops, restaurants and theaters in downtown Santa Monica which was also very convenient. My only complaint would be that the listing didn’t mention that there’s an office attached to the main house the listing is for that quite a few people work in M-F 9am-5pm. They enter through the gate to the back yard so they never enter the house but my sister and I were thrown off by seeing random people enter the backyard of the house we we’re renting.
Also, there’s a small rental in the back of the property that is mentioned in the listing. We could sometimes hear the people in that house from the main house we were in at night, which wasn’t a big deal but didn’t provide for complete silence and on one occasion they went to sit on the porch behind the main house which threw my sister off because I think she was changing.
