You MUST STAY HERE! This place is just GORGEOUS! It is so clean and bright. The old world charm combined with every modern update make it perfection.
I loved the location so much -- a pleasant surprise after formerly having what I thought was the MOST perfect Santa Monica airbnb location on the planet (now SM no longer allows airbnb):.. Here you can walk down Temescal Canyon Rd 1 mile to Will Rogers Beach & the PCH. You can walk up Temescal Canyon a few blocks and be at the entrance to one of the top hiking trails / canyons in Los Angeles.
The Pacific Palisades village is safe and beautiful and has EVERYTHING you could possibly need. Ralph's Grocery store is close, Gelsons is even closer and there is a CVS right there as well.
All of the old tall windows surrounding this place really gave it a "cottage" feel -- so bright and airy!
The French Doors to the huge balcony were my favorite feature! ... even got to listen to a football game at Pali High School just a block + away as well as watch sunsets over the Santa Monica Mountains.
Lunch at Matthew's Garden Cafè was SUPER yummy -- the place is beyond adorable! I felt like I was lunching in an award winning garden space with all of the trellises and flowers.
Being from Minnesota, I am honestly JEALOUS of all the people who live in this PP neighborhood. They are beyond lucky! I felt fancy!
The new touristy-y things I tried this year were awesome : Venice Canals (1 of my fave fab surprises in life!!!), Rivas Canyon hiking, Will Rogers State Park (Inspiration Point has an amazing 360 degree view at just 754 feet up!), a day trip to Santa Barbara + some time in Marina Beach! It was a super HOT week on the coast so some time in the Air conditioned rental car was welcomed!
Communication at this airbnb with both Amir & Dani was perfect. They were flexible with checkin & out times which is a #1 reason why I choose airbnb.
THANK YOU for this top notch experience!
