I had a wonderful experience at the Getty House. Robert is an excellent host - very friendly and warm. He made sure I was acquainted with the fundamentals of the property. He also provided an informative list of things to do in the area (which is always a welcome bonus, especially if you don't know the neighborhood). The house itself is extremely comfortable, clean, private, serene and well-appointed for cooking. As for the neighborhood: it's cute, quiet and close to the beach. What more could you ask for? I would definitely recommend this house if you're planning on staying in Santa Monica. Really, just a lovely all-around experience, and I look forward to visiting again.
