My wife and I stayed here for 3 nights on the last leg of our honeymoon. Michele greeted us from the airport and showed us around the property; she also had some welcome information regarding local restaurants and bars of choice.
I have to say, the place is wonderful and the decor is very modern but also homely, as often mentioned by my wife. Though the property is adjacent to the main house, it still feels secluded/separate, so you never feel like your intruding. Michele was always easy to communicate with and was very accommodating - allowing us to leave luggage for later pick up (as we weren’t flying till 10pm). The location is fantastic, only 15 mins walk to down town Santa Monica, where you have all of the bars, shops and restaurants. Coffee lovers, there is a great coffee shop called Urth Caffé not too far away.
I would certainly return to Michele’s place when we are next in SM.
