My husband and I loved this rental.

Pros: Very clean. Exposed wood beams and slanted roof feel cozy and charmingly rustic. I don't think the photos do it full justice. Bed was very comfy. Lots of pillows. Separate entrance off the alley. Great deck with little table and view of the lovely back patio. Super sweet dog in the main house to pet. Great hosts - thank you Carmen, Bill and Marco. Plenty of parking. Very quiet and feels private. Location is a quick walk to Abbott Kinney and the use of the bikes puts you close to the beach, Rose, Lincoln, Santa Monica etc. etc. We didn't use it because there are so many great restaurants near by, but the kitchen was well stocked. Cold water in the fridge. Again, the deck and view of the charming back patio (not pictured).

Cons: Not many. While it didn't bother us, some people may not like that the shower floor is contiguous with the rest of the bathroom floor like something you'd find in Europe. The bed isn't a queen, but very comfy for two. The garbage truck drove by on Monday morning, but was quick and it was very quiet otherwise. Nothing that would keep us from staying here again and we would definitely recommend to friends.
