Amazing place, the location is an absolute gem. Very true to the description. I actually loved being next to the Santa Monica stairs - more inspiration for being active outdoors and soaking in the views. Loved taking the stairs , running through pacific palisades park and down along the beach. Incredible amount of places of interest , food , drinks coffee all nearby within a short walk and more within 15-20 min drive or a bike ride. The mini observation deck with the fire pit is real indulgence, we spent some cozy hours there during the day and at the sunset. We stayed during the colder winter months, but the electric heater inside was sufficient to heat the place. The studio was clean, had all the necessities, and I found the bed very comfortable. Laura was responsive and welcoming, couldn't thank her enough. I would love to stay here again.
