Really enjoyed being in Santa Monica near the beach at Jeff's place. Excellent location all round! Our bungalow was one in a quirky compound of rooms and huts around a hang out lawn-like communal area overseen by some very personable cats. The inside of our bungalow had a lovely artistic feel, but the finishing was less than perfect for the price (bed was creaky, but fine; the kitchen and toilet were separated by curtains only, of which the one to the kitchen kept falling down; there were strict instructions to be gentle with pull cords; the sockets had loose connections; and most worrying was that the gas had been left on in the kitchen when we arrived, which we only discovered on returning a few hours after dropping off our bags and caused some concern). Jeff and the other residents around were present but were not overly friendly and kept to themselves – check-in was self-done via messaged instructions. It was, however, as advertised, a unique, private space, provided a permit for the on-street parking and was within a short walking distance from excellent coffee shops, corner stores and the beach.
