Staying at The Zen Cottage truly is an experience. I travel to Santa Monica frequently for work and this was one of my most peaceful trips. The location is great, it's very quiet, there is a beautiful pond right outside with giant koi. The cottage is open, light, and spacious and the beds are nice and comfortable.

I was really impressed by the choices in fixtures, tiles, furnishings. Everything was just really well done, it certainly did not feel like a 'rental' it truly felt like a place that was loved.

When I arrived, I met Jacqui and Howard, they were very sweet and interesting people.

Overall, this is the best type of AirBNB experience you can have.
