The area was a surprise as we were pulling up as the street is a small alleyway of the type i've only ever seen in CA. That was the first sign that this stay would be unique. The bed was comfortable and really cozy, it looks like a foldout bed from the wall with lots of pillows accompanying it. The home is really close to Cafe Gratitude and a nice area with lots of bars which we really enjoyed after settling in. The neighborhood was quiet, parking was easy, check in and check out was easy, overall it was a warm and wonderful stay in Santa Monica.
