Marcellas house is true gem with european charme. We stayed for 3 nights and enjoyed sitting in the garden during evenings and mornings.
The house is small, but has everything you need: eg: a Bialetti in the kitchen to make great coffee :-) Our daughter slept on the foldable chair, which is simple but was fine for the stay. She loved the big window in the room on first floor.
The house is in an area of nice houses, you can do some great jogging in the morning! If you drive just some blocks down you are on a street with nice cafés, a wholefoods, etc. Santa Monica is really great and so is swimming in the sea.
We would definitely want to stay again, if we were in the area.
