This home is a sanctuary, it's truly exceptional- there were even flowers on the table to greet us! The beds are super comfortable and everything we needed was there for us- fresh towels, spring water, linens, paper towels, as well as a beautiful home, expansive kitchen and living areas as well as both a private patio area and a semi private patio area with a sauna, bikes to borrow, and an outdoor shower. Having a washer/dryer was a bonus. We will be back- it's our new "home away from home!" You truly can't beat the location- its quick walk to the beach, the charming shops & restaurants on Rose, 5 mins to Whole Foods and 4 mins Main Street in Santa Monica! We walked everywhere- to yoga, to ice cream, to the beach, to get massages- you name it! The street is residential and quiet (we slept deeply!) and street parking was easy to find. We loved this gem of a home. It's beautifully decorated and well equipped for an amazing stay. Dara, the host was easy to reach for any questions and was super accommodating. As I mentioned before, we will be back to this beautiful apartment!
