My daughter and I spent 8 beautiful days in Santa Monica and a major factor in our extraordinary experience was due to our beautiful home that we stayed at that Emanuelle has. This place had EVERYTHING we needed! It was also very private and our hosts were so very kind and helpful when we needed advice or direction on where to go. It’s within walking distance of downtown and the pier, but far enough away to have a quiet atmosphere. Grocery stores are just a few blocks away which allowed us to stock the refrigerator with excellent food options, instead of eating out for every meal. The washer and dryer were a huge plus as well! Excellent experience and highly recommend for your stay!
