My boyfriend and I stayed for 3 nights in March at this gorgeous house and had an absolutely great time!! The location of the house is amazing in between Santa Monica and Malibu, a perfect spot to explore the city of LA with all the usual sights as well as the surrounding while at the same time being in a quiet beach getaway. We had the room with the balcony, a very nice bright and clean room with an ensuite bathroom, which has - as the terrace downstairs - a stunning view over the Pacific Palisades Hills and the ocean. It takes you 10 minutes by foot and 5 minutes by car to the beach and there are nice restaurants within a 5-10 minutes drive. There is also a bus stop a 3 min walk away from the house and with busses going straight to Santa Monica. Si and her sons were very welcoming hosts, always available for questions, very helpful and up for interesting conversations but also respecting our privacy. We had a great stay and will definitely come back!
