The experience I had in Santa Monica was a great one and it had a lot to do with the my welcoming stay. The private guesthouse looked just liked the photos and upon arrival I was greeted by Katja, a friendly/warm hearted host . Very quiet spot made me feel like I had my own personalized space and was able to get great sleep just like I would at home. Close to great locations in town and an overall beautiful property. Katja was extremely pleasant and I would love to come back again to stay!
