This was my first time in Southern California and I knew I wanted to be near the Santa Monica pier. Andy’s home feels so welcoming, I would suggest letting him know what time you are checking in because that was our only issue but other than that we felt like we had the house to ourselves. It was both my best friend and I, we had keys to enter in the home when we got back from our adventures. Having the washer and dryer was one of the best things! There’s a rooftop, a garage door with a giant mirror in one room and so many spaces to relax. My only regret was not dedicating a day to just relax in the home. If you’re hesitant don’t be, it’s worth every second of being there.
