Julian made my wife and I feel welcome by meeting us when we arrived and giving us a short tour of the property and informing us of nearby restaurants and grocery stores. The listing description was very accurate and the house was located in a very beautiful and safe neighborhood. Although most recommend a car in LA (and the surrounding areas), we utilized the number 9 bus, but did remain close to the coast. We would both highly recommend this listing for anyone looking to stay in the Santa Monica area.
