This place is a gem - no wonder it has so many (other) great reviews! We stayed for two nights at the end of a California road trip and had a very good visit. Comfortable bed, good showers, lots of little extra touches to make your trip even better, water and beer in the fridge, coffee in the kitchen (and even an electric KETTLE for my morning tea, what an unexpected bonus for an English tourist!).
TIP: If you are either a light sleeper or light sensitive, I recommend the use of an eye mask, as the room is quite light in terms of window coverings.
We know the Santa Monica/Marina del Rey area quite well from previous LA visits and Stephen's guest house is perfectly located for both in a charming area. I would love to go back and enjoy the sunsets from the deck on our next trip.
Thank you, Stephen and Helga.
