My sister and I decided to take a little vacation for a few days in L.A and we stayed at Rose Ann's place in Santa Monica. What a treat this was! The location is really great (very close to Venice, WeHo, and Beverly Hills) and the place itself was very clean and surrounded by lush plant life. Rose Ann and her family offered us a lot of privacy and Rose Ann kept the communication open and constant which is always appreciated. I would definitley recommend their pool house to anyone looking to experience LA! Some places I would recommend to eat are:

Pacos (literally a 5 minute walk and ahhmazing Mexican food!)
The Blue Daisy Cafe (about a 15 minute drive)
The Griddle Cafe (located on Sunset Blvd. The pancakes are legendary and insane. Check them out!)
Chateau Marmont (the place for celebrities...a little pricey, but cool to have the experience)
Randy's Doughnuts (the most delicious doughnut of my life!)

*Rose Ann provided us with water, pastries, yogurt, and fresh fruit which was so sweet of her. Don't worry if you forget your razor or deodarant because there are extras located under the bathroom sink!
