My family and I really enjoyed staying in Sara's place for our Spring Break getaway! The location is perfect: just off Montana Ave. and so near great restaurants, cafes, fun shops (Rori's ice-cream, John Kelly Chocolate), Whole Foods and more. In spite of being so close to such a "happening" street, at night it was completely quiet in the apartment. The beach and other major Santa Monica attractions are a short drive away but also very walkable for active folks.
The space itself is lovely- lots of natural light and nicely decorated. We did not cook, but from what I saw the kitchen is well stocked with dishes and cooking supplies and even a "coffee bar" stocked with nespresso capsules, tea and cocoa...
Sara is a great host too... very quick response time when booking and later when I had a question for her. And we really appreciated the thoughtful welcome flowers and coffee cake!
