Kathleen's place is so lovely! She has a beautiful garden in the front filled with strawberries, figs, peppers, pomegranates, and more! The house is spacious, clean, and very stylish. My group especially loved the back patio. It had a full table, with comfy chairs, and our favorite - the hammock. California weather was perfect enough that we spent most mornings and evenings on the back patio. It worked as another functional room in the house. Check in and check out was easy, and the location was close to most of our destinations, including the Santa Monica beach, which is beautiful. She provided us with a parking pass for our rental car, but it's also an easy location to get an Uber.
Our group was a group of 3 adults, but it is quite accommodating to a small family. Just note that there are two rooms - one has a large bed and the other is a kids room with a crib and and large air mattress.
