Fabulous Santa Monica property!

Outstanding location, beautiful apartment, really comfortable bed, quiet neighborhood within walking distance of Montana (filled with restaurants). Walked through lovely neighborhoods to the ocean and overall, we couldn't have been happier. Throughout the booking process, the hosts were super responsive and once we were there, everything was perfect so we had little need to be in touch. Absolutely recommend this apartment!

Perfect location for us

This location was great, and for us personally, could not be better while visiting family just a block away. Walking distance to restaurants and shopping is convenient and easy. Accommodations are spotless, spacious and comfortable. Spiral staircase and loft could be a challenge for some. The hosts are wonderful people. We’d stay here again in a heartbeat!

Nice

Very nice space to stay in SM. If you are 6 ft. or over and don’t want to navigate winding stairs if you need to use the bathroom a couple times in the middle of the night, this space will work for you. Very clean, quiet and in a super location.

Every little detail was considered

Besides being in the perfect location-safe, walkable, convenient-the hosts provided a super clean and comfortable space. It’s cute and stylish, and every single need was met beyond expectations. Instructions were clear and thorough with the essentials plus lots of recommendations. We always found parking easily. Having the bed up in a little perch with a lower ceiling and the spiral stairs worked great for us but might not work for everyone. We would stay over and over again if we could.

Sunny vacay in Santa Monica

The unit is ideally located for shopping on Montana, exercising at the beach, and exploring the rest of LA. Very quiet at night with a super-comfy bed and chic private deck for coffee and crossword in the morning. We didn't do any cooking because we had to try as many great restaurants as possible. Specifically. R and D Kitchen, Jon and Vinnies, Birdie G's, Flower Child and HiHo.

Wonderful stay in Santa Monica!

This Santa Monica property was perfect for our stay! Kevin and his wife were the best hosts and incredibly hospitable and welcoming. The apartment was clean, modern and well decorated and the hosts even provided us with a delicious snack basket upon our arrival. The location of the apartment is in a great neighborhood that is close enough to the beach that we could ride scooters and be there in no time! The neighborhood was excellent and close to restaurants, cafes, coffee houses and shops. There is no doubt that we will go back and stay here again and we HIGHLY recommend this property! Thanks for a great stay Kevin!
