The Garden Retreat is in a perfect location for me, near Montana Ave. It is very comfortable, and Aleson replied quickly to any communication I had with her.

I was staying in Santa Monica for some work events in Venice and Anaheim - perfect apartment and location.The area is quiet, but close to tons of restaurants, cafes, and shopping. Street parking was super easy for a rented car, but very walkable.The apartment was spotless, plenty of room for one (or two) travelers. Bed was very comfortable, and the kitchen had anything you'd need to prep a meal if you wanted to cook.Communication and instructions from the host were great. Easy to check in/out, very smooth. They also had several local tips which I used for meals out.Will return when I'm in town again!

About the host

Hosted by Aly

Host profile image
I love L.A. and Santa Monica and I'm so excited to share it with others in this magical spot.

Why they chose this property

Compared to the more tourist-driven parts of Santa Monica, Montana Avenue is known for its “local” feel, walkability, and welcoming environment, ideal for strolls and outdoor café culture.
It’s a cherished hub for residents and a special spot for guests seeking an authentic Santa Monica experience.

What makes this property unique

The tranquility and charm but modern touches make for an excellent spot to enjoy one of the most walkable areas in the Los Angeles with beautiful weather and the beach nearby!
You can enjoy the benefits of desirable Santa Monica but also have easy access to public transportation (metro & bus) + rideshare/taxi to get to all the excitement L.A. has to offer like concerts, shows, sporting events, World Cup, etc. etc.
