This is a lovely place for a family or group of friends, spacious, comfortable and possessed of lovely views and close proximity to good hiking, the Brentwood mall, Montana Ave., and the northern part of the Santa Monica beach. The rep communicated well with us. We experienced a problem not entirely of the owner’s making: record-breaking rains caused the roof to leak into one of the bedrooms, and the leak caused a bad smell in that room. An attempt was made to fix the leak, while we were there, but it was unsuccessful. A second leak developed in the living room on our third night. The owner will certainly fix them, and it’s unlikely that rains of that intensity will be a regular occurrence, but they diminished our enjoyment.
