This guest house is a charming! It's a quiet getaway after a busy day at the beach. Your host is charming as well, and I can only think of good things to say. A lovely little house with private patio and garden area with lots of attention to detail. There is safe street parking, and the patio garden is gated. We left the French doors open a bit and enjoyed the night air. New, clean, quiet, friendly, comfortable, with lots of art and flowers- beautifully decorated. So much more than a hotel- you get a home for the night or nights you stay. There is so much to see and do in the Venice-Santa Monica area. If sleep matters after a long day, stay here. You'll be refreshed and ready to go for the next day. :)
