We had an unbelievable stay. We pulled into the neighborhood and had no trouble parking on the block (great to not worry about parking or re-parking a car all the time). We walked into the house and were greeted by Kevin upon arrival. He was very nice and welcoming.

The house was exactly as pictured: airy, well furnished, and clean. The bed was insanely comfortable, the kitchen was really lovely, and the outdoor shower was perhaps my favorite. It was a great place to feel at home and truly relax. We slept better there than we do at home in New York! It is worth noting that the house is quite close to Kevin and Susan's house. There is a nice backyard between the house and this guest house (where the pets usually hang out), but is in direct eyesight of one another. We ended up keeping the curtains closed around the bed and felt perfectly private without having to shut all the windows or anything.

The surrounding neighborhood is also great. Lots of great restaurants in this neighborhood and very close to all the good stuff in Santa Monica. We didn't get a chance to take advantage of the bikes due to weather not being amazing and timing, but if we did we probably would have taken them to the beach. The beach is a few miles away so it's not like we could roll out of bed and land on the beach. The house is in a really quiet and pretty block.

I've stayed in a handful of airbnb houses over the last couple years and think that this is probably my favorite. Many thanks for a wonderful stay!
