Julie and family were friendly and lovely hosts. I stayed just over a week and the accommodation was perfect for what I needed. It's clean, light, comfortable. No tv but there is free wifi. I bought some dvd's to watch on my laptop, but I was there for work so not much free time. Its approximately 10 minutes to 3rd St Promenade by car, and free to park on Iowa (just check street cleaning times).

I'd recommend this place very highly and if I stay in Santa Monica again, I shall be booking in!
