If this isn't the best place to stay in southern California, I don't know what is. Susan & Kevin's beautiful hideaway is a gem. It's artistically and tastefully created, from the crisp whites of the interior and linens, to the paned glass windows that provide light at all times of day, to the linen cushions and little zen garden, to the super comfortable bed, to the creeping ficus that clings to walls inside and out. The fabulous outdoor shower alone is worth the stay. Birds woke us each morning. The neighborhood is beautiful and very safe , so close to Abbott Kinney that we ditched our car and walked home late one night, and walked everywhere from Venice beach to Santa Monica. A great location, lovely hosts, and magical accommodations. We will absolutely be back.
