Nestled in a beautiful and quiet Brentwood neighborhood made for an excellent night's sleep. Whole Foods is a five minute walk away: very convenient. If you like Japanese Curry, CoCo Ichibanya is about a 10 minute walk away, along with other restaurants and shops.
Downtown Santa Monica, the beach and the Pier are a very convenient 10 minute drive away. I even walked to downtown Santa Monica: it's a bit of a long walk, but if you're in no hurry it's great exercise!
The place itself is super clean and nicely decorated. The pull-out bed was more comfortable than I expected and I especially appreciated the black-out curtains on the windows. All in all, this ended up being a perfectly quiet, relaxing retreat to escape to after my daily excursions. Highly recommended!
