I visited.the area to see my daughter who recently moved to the area and brought her sister with me. Cristinrs place is very cozy and comfortable. Great location that is quiet and close to everything. Easy walk to LOVE coffee shop for a craft made. cappucino and pastry and many other shops. Short drive to beach and Santa Monica pier. The room was very private and comfortable. We enjoyed the privacy of the back yard and the use of the pool and hot tub. Cristine is a great host! She is very friendly and communicative. She has great knowledge of the area and was really helpful with suggesting places to go and recommendations on great restaurants in the area. We will definitely be back!!!
