Love, love, loved staying at Michaela's. You can't beat the location... the beach and the boardwalk are literally just down the block, also a few minutes walk from Abbott Kinney (and many restaurants/shops). As a female traveling alone, I felt very safe staying here. Michaela's place is within a gated property of about 6 homes. She's made very practical, good use of the space - and it has a nice, ecclectic vibe. Also, Foxy is THE sweetest cat I've ever had the pleasure of meeting... She's a sweet lil snuggler :D I wish I could have stayed longer!
