We thoroughly enjoyed our experience staying at Anthony's place on the beach. From the beginning communication with Anthony was a breeze and he is very friendly. You could not ask for a better location for your stay in Santa Monica. You are just a 30 min drive from the Santa Monica mountains for hiking, a block away from fabulous restaurants and bars, and a 15 min walk or 5 min Lyft ride to 3rd street promenade and all it has to offer. To top off the awesomeness, Anthony offers FREE breakfast at his restaurant "Patrick's Roadhouse", and the food is great. It's super convenient to wake up, pop downstairs for coffee and food, then walk across the street for a morning walk on the beach. And lastly, if celebrity spotting is your thing, you have a high chance of seeing one there....we only stayed 2 nights and had a run-in with a Hollywood A-lister. All in all a great place to stay!
