A beautifully designed retreat in a quiet neighborhood in Rustic Canyon. Walkable to the beach (about 10-15 minutes), and within easy reach of all of Santa Monica by car, the hosts were very welcoming and accommodating. Wall of glass opens to merge the indoor and outdoor space, a lush garden with pool and spa. The guest house is well equipped with wifi, a built-in sound system, flat screen television, small kitchen (no oven, but all other appliances), and a full bathroom with wonderful steam shower. Like many such houses in Los Angeles, the space is unheated, although there is a wood burning fireplace and plenty of firewood provided by the hosts for chilly evenings. All in all our experience was fantastic and we would highly recommend the place.
