Sam was a great host and very easy to reach! We enjoyed our stay at this home. It was in a very nice and quiet area. We were within walking distance of many restaurants, bars, a coffee shop, and grocery stores. Parking was so easy. It was nice to have a private driveway. There was a bus that ran the distance of santa monica blvd which was a two minute walk. There is also a free shuttle at night on the weekends that will travel down santa monica blvd if you're not up for walking.
