Lili welcomed us to her lovely home by showing us around and introducing some ground rules that were flexible and inviting. We spent a few days here and had my daughter + 1 celebrate my birthday in the garden with a warm jacuzzi as an excellent ending. Lilis 2 sons also lived there and they and their well behaved dogs also made us feel welcome. They kept the dog away from us until we said that we really like dogs. So no need to worry if you do not wish to have them near you. We will absolutely book with Lili again if we return to Santa Monica
