Exactly as described, this is a terrific "home base" for a visit to Santa Monica and nearby beach towns, as well as downtown L.A. A private, comfortable, good-sized space with all essential amenities. Located on a pleasant residential street and an easy walk to the beach and Santa Monica shops. Also just 2 blocks from the Metro Rail (light rail) to downtown Los Angeles. Claudia is a welcoming and responsive host. We'd stay here again!
