Todd was a great host! He was very welcoming, and was quick to respond and tend to our needs. We stayed in one of the cottages behind the main house. It has everything you need, and is in a great location. It's on a quiet street just between 2 busier streets that can get you anywhere you want to go. It's a nice neighborhood to walk in. There are shops and restaurants within walking distance. We took uber almost everywhere except for the beach. My husband and I gave public transit a try and took the bus to Santa Monica. Took some time, but saved some money and it was worth it!
