What an absolute gem! The home is immaculate and spacious, as well as completely renovated inside with clean lines and a modern, beachy style. It seemed much bigger than what is shown in the pictures! The Ocean Park neighborhood is lovely, with many examples of quintessential California architecture. The location is also close to Main Street shops and the beach…an easy and pleasant walk. The Santa Monica location itself is a great jumping off point for exploring all of Los Angeles and other beach towns such as Manhattan or Hermosa Beach. Our hosts were always responsive, but also gave us our privacy, so we felt truly at home. I live on the East Coast, but love California and visit whenever I can. There is no way you will find a better home for the value. I can’t wait to come back!
