We were looking for a house with a pool, that could accommodate five adults for a small, family reunion weekend. Katja’s place was well located, sized right with adequate street parking, and had a large family room off the kitchen that opened onto the patio and pool through sliding doors on 2 sides of the room. It made for comfortable circulation and an open floor plan. The pool was bigger than the pictures suggest. We had space to be together and space to be apart. The neighborhood was quiet; the Santa Monica Airport was nearby, but if there were flights coming and going, we didn’t notice. Trader Joe’s and access to the freeway were also nearby. If Katja was around, we weren’t aware, but when we needed her, she was always there. We had a very nice time and would consider staying at Katja’s again.
