We have stayed at this place several times, and we love it. I and my wife travel to Santa Monica once or twice a year for business, and we always try to book this place. The location is fantastic - a 10-minute walk to the beach, and a few meters away from the stairs, which are great to get our cardio exercise. Also very close to Temescal Canyon (car ride) for hiking and to town (a short car ride or a long walk) for restaurants and shops (there are a few closer restaurants by the beach). Parking is super easy - just in front of the house - and free. The place is spacious and immaculate clean. The owner clearly maintains it very well. The kitchen is comfortable, with space to cook, a good size fridge, and counter space. The bathroom has a window and good water pressure in the shower. The sink is a bit small, but we got used to it very quickly. The bed is very comfortable and the sheets are very soft. Very good closet space and drawers also. Good desk to work. Wifi works very well. The owner, Leslie, responds very quickly - she respects your privacy and answers any questions rapidly; and she has lots of suggestions on what to do, restaurants, market days, etc. We very much recommend this place, and we will definitely go back when in Santa Monica.
