We booked the Mermaid cottage, it's cute with fresh air, in the mountain,the bed is big and nice, setting in the house is homey, David's wife/friend host us, she is passion and very nice, but the way to drive to is quite hard for the driver who is new for driving, our car cause a lot of traffic at back, so the driver is scared to drive in and out everyday, even it's only 20 minutes away from Santa Monica, so we didn't live there, what a shame! Next time if I go to Santa Monica again, I will absolutely stay there.
