The place was in a quiet neighborhood close to pretty much everything. We were able to walk to the boardwalk and take a bike ride over to the Santa Monica Pier. The host was great to communicate with. She answered almost immediately each time I contacted her. A few things to note: because of where the house is located it makes it a challenge for delivery and rideshare drivers to find you. The bathroom downstairs does not have an exhaust fan and the mattress downstairs was too soft for my taste. Overall its a great rental for the price.
