We arrived after dinner on a Sunday night. The hosts had friends over and invited us to join them, gave us food and showed us to our accommodations. They were delightful. We even had a bottle of wine to greet us. The guest house was away from the main residence and surrounded by beautiful gardens and there was a lovely patio where we had tea and relaxed when we made the time. We were on the go a lot, seeing sights all over LA. It was very nice to know we had such a lovely place to come home to each night. It was very hot when we were there, but the box fan in the bedroom window made it comfortable at night. The host addressed anything we needed, right away. The location was so close to the beach, shopping, sightseeing, and restaurants. The 3rd street promenade in Santa Monica was very lively, as was the pier. The shower was fine, the kitchen was perfect for breakfast and lunches, but the stovetop could accommodate a simple dinner as well. The Wi-Fi did not work well.
