Katja, and her guest house, are absolutely lovely. Katja is friendly, accommodating, prompt to respond to any request and very polite. During my stay she was always available when I needed her but never hovering. I felt welcome to come and go as I pleased despite having to walk through her property to access the guest house. The house itself is quaint, comfortable, spacious for one person and bright (as previous reviewers mention, bring eye patches for the morning if you're used to a dark room). The amenities were perfect for my stay, and I particularly loved the bedding (just a light duvet cover). She also gave me two full bath towels and a hand towel which is more than I use at home. Lastly, the location of Katja's home could not be any better for traveling throughout the Greater LA Area. I easily zipped about with easy access to the 10 which connects to all the major highways, not to mention the great location within Santa Monica itself. If you need a place to stay and think Katja's listing could fit the bill, look no further.
