Our time at Sam’s place was absolutely incredible. We stayed for 3 months and couldn’t be happier. When you open the gate and look right, you can see the ocean. We often would use the bike path for running, rollerblading or walking. The home is right on the border of Santa Monica and Venice to it’s easily walkable to Abbott Kinney, 3rd street promenade, restaurants, coffee shops, etc. Sam was very timely in her responses and was a fabulous host. If we come back to the area, we’d love to stay here again!
