This was a roomy and stylish space, conveniently located for westside activities. Though outdoor spaces were clean and cutely furnished, some factors kept us from utilizing them -- one being a very close proximity to the noise of the Santa Monica airport, and another being the somewhat nosy nature of our host. While mostly friendly and smiling, Rozina had a tendency to micromanage, often appearing in the shared entryway upon our arrival to correct some minor behavior. From the direction of water bottles in the refrigerator to the use of lights and appliances, every entry and exit seemed peppered with criticisms that could have been construed as infringements on our privacy. Overall, we had a very pleasant stay, and if a highly communicative host does not deter you, this guesthouse by the beach is a great find.
