We just finished a 6 night stay at Karen's "Cozy Bedroom in Sunny Santa Monica”. We are full time travelers and when in LA have usually booked a room with a few amenities so we're comfortable while visiting family. However, Karen (along with Richard and their Beagle Blu) has now set the bar so high that short of being hosted by our new friends again we will have a hard time imagining staying anywhere else. Inspiring, welcoming, caring, and energetic are just a very few of the words to describe Karen. The home is stylish, comfortable, and beautiful, the bed and pillows are extremely comfortable, the bathroom is perfect, and the patio is the most relaxing place I've been in months. With the use of the charming sitting room, kitchen privileges, washer/dryer, and a great location to drive anywhere or walk to a few places, I cannot fathom a better place to stay. Thank you Karen and Richard for being so gracious with us being around so much and allowing us to relax before our next big adventure. Happy Travels to us all!
