Lisette is a wonderful host, and she’ll do everything possible to make you feel at home, including a lot of small (and not so small) details like a buy of wine, coffee, breakfast, or sharing her food and her space.
Plus, her dog Whiskey is wonderful!
The location is very quiet and safe, close to a few nice hikes, and 10 min drive to downtown Pacific Palisades with restaurants and all. Santa Monica is not much further 15-30 min. Not surprisingly, there’s not much in walking range, and the closest cafe is 2 miles drive.
The room is small, but has most of what you need, and Lisette is very happy to share the common areas.
