When I pulled up to Marina's home I was ecstatic. First, there is a driveway with a gate so you don't have to mess with street parking. Second, the entrance looks so nice with plants. Third, the interior is open and comfortable and feels new! The bathrooms are beautiful and the rooms are nicely done with a good amount of closet space. We cooked 1 night and had take in on another. There was plenty of dining space and we were able to play games at the table after.
For the coffee drinkers out there, there is only a french press. You can get beans ground (and a free small coffee with the beans) at Groundwork Coffee.
We walked to Whole foods, down to the beach to rent bikes, and Santa Monica pier was a pretty quick drive. I highly recommend and Marina is very responsive and helpful.
