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!
