This place is wonderful, and the hosts are so gracious and accommodating! We flew in long before check-in time, and since we had no vehicle, we were going to be stuck roaming Santa Monica on foot with our luggage. But Flavia & Niall graciously provided a place for us to keep our luggage even while we were waiting for the house to be ready for check-in. They did the same for us after check-out as well! Communication with them was easy and very positive.
The little house itself is lovely and clean, and walking distance from the beach, a park, and some great restaurants! The queen bed is quite comfortable, and the kitchen is stocked with the basics of what you'd need to cook. There are also a few beach towels provided!
The one thing I would point out as something to keep in mind is that the pull out bed is definitely for someone who doesn't have a problem sleeping on a hard surface. Keeping it as a couch for sleeping is a softer option.
I definitely recommend staying here!
