Jeff's place is amazing! It's a cute bungalow with a lot of character. It's cozy and clean, and it's so well located that it's hard to imagine a spot much better than this. It's almost surreal how you are on this quiet side street, yet you walk a block or two and you have tons of shops and restaurants and of course the beautiful beach. I woke up every morning and immediately walked 3 or 4 minutes to the beach and beat the crowds.
The restaurants and shops around the home are also great. There's a bustling cafe that's literally 50 yards away. A great vegan Thai place. And a deceptively good meat pie/Aussie place. I would also recommend checking out the same sushi place that Jeff recommends, good stuff. There's also a really big clothing thrift store that's super close to the house. And for people into Crossfit, Crossfit Santa Monica is practically in the backyard.
I would absolutely come back(and really hope to.) Great place and priced well for the area. Highly recommended.
