The place is very nice and pleasant. The house is located in a quiet neighborhood at a walking distance to the beach (15 min), Abbot Kinney (20 min) and Santa Monica Pier (30 min). Mia (we didn't meet June) is nice and friendly, and helps you out with anything that you need and makes sure that everything is ready for breakfast, which is copious (plenty of fruit: strawberries, blueberries, bananas, apples..., toasts, cereal, yogurt, butter, jams, coffee, milk...). The only negative issue that we had is that our room (ground floor) was too small for a long stay like ours (8 days). We had four pieces of luggage (traveling for three weeks) and it was not easy to manage. I guess this issue is not relevant for shorter stays with less luggage.
