We have spent 3 wonderful days by Mariann and Mark.The house is close to Santa Monica's beach and with the use of the two bikes it was really easy and fun to go around!There is also a blue line bus that stops very close to the house and that can bring you directly to Santa Monica's Pier.The room was very nice,confortable and clean as the personal bathroom.Mariann and Mark have been very nice,giving us all the advise and suggestion to visit the place (maps were at our disposal).We enjoyed a lot their company and have spent time toghether talking and having good time.We loved their dog,that welcomed us everymorning!It was also perfect for the car,as we could park it for free right in front of the house.We will always remember with pleasure our stay by Mariann and Mark.Thank you very much for everything!Our best regards Laura&Andrea
