We had a family vacation with our 3 year old and infant son. I think the size was just right for our family. The instructions were very laid out, and there was plenty of parking. The Co-Op market (similar to a Whole Foods) as well as the light rail was very convenient within walking distance. If we didn't have kids we would definitely have taken advantage of all the fun scooters that can zip you anywhere in Santa Monica. The nights were quite warm for us even with the AC unit (no central AC) blasting and fan on but our friends said we came on a warm week for Santa Monica. I found the king sized bed on the bottom bunk to be very comfortable. The hosts were very friendly and hospitable. Overall, I enjoyed the location and value this guesthouse offered.
