This was our first longer-term house rental so we were nervous about it, but everything about this experience was first-rate. The location is very well-suited for anyone looking to concentrate on the West Side-Santa Monica part of L.A. Avid walkers, we loved the house's relative proximity to the beach and to Santa Monica's Palisades Park. As for the house itself - it was very bright, inviting and comfortable, with a well-furnished kitchen, attractive and comfortable bedrooms and living spaces, and roomy deck spaces (unfortunately we visited during an uncharacteristically cool and wet winter, so could not take advantage of the decks as often as we'd have liked. We took full advantage of the fireplaces, though). The house easily accommodated the two of us, along with a few visitors who passed through during our one-month stay. A one-car attached garage took care of us, but on-street parking is pretty limited so visitors typically had to park a half-block or so away. The owner was very friendly and responsive, both before our stay (answering questions, giving advice on local matters), and while we were there, even coming over quickly once when a power outage hit, followed by immediately ordering and sending over an emergency lantern in case it happened again. We would definitely stay here again. Many thanks, Bader!
