This location is ideal for walkers, hikers, biking, 1 mile to the ocean less using the nature path thru the neighborhood across the street. Hiking at Temescal Canyon and Will Rogers farm park only .7 miles. Plaza with restaurants in both directions easy walks of .3 miles. Bus stop 2 blocks on same side or across the street, to travel into Santa Monica with connections to other buses or train to San Diego which we did. Very comfortable place we stayed in the garden room, quite area with french door and windows looking out on the patio and garden area, sat drinking wine in the garden area. We shopped at Ralphs in the Palisades(1 mile) for microwave foods, coffee, milk, veggie salads and sliced London broil roast beef.
Mary her husband and daughter are so kind. We stayed for 5 weeks to get out of the northeast NY cold.
If you have a car, there is parking, with a stop light located in each direction you can find an opening to pull in the busy traffic or going around on the back streets to be headed in the correct direction to enter the driveway with flashers on. Uber to Santa Monica as well.
