Natalie (the owner) is wonderful and the location can’t be beat. We travelled with our adult son and although it’s a pretty small place, it was a perfect little get away location that had enough room for all of us. We will be back! ##### Rachel L.

The host always checked in to see if we needed anything. The location is amazing, walking distance to the steps into Santa Monica Canyon, a beautiful neighborhood, the beach, the ocean cliff park and to Montana stores and restaurants. The bed was amazingly comfortable and I slept better there than at home. There is no street noise from San Vicente in case you are worried, it was soundproofed. We would definitely go back again. ##### Loralee B.

Natalie greeted me and my 11 year old child on arrival, settling us in to the very clean and quiet guest house. We used both the king bed and the twin pullout couch bed, and both were comfortable and cozy. I highly recommend making this your LA home base. ##### Diane Q.

We enjoyed walking the beautiful neighborhood to great restaurants on Montana street. We drove to the Santa Monica beach area and walked along the Palisades park and down to the beach. We had a delightful two days in Santa Monica. Thanks ##### Pamela B.

The unit is comfortable and well equipped. We really enjoyed the private deck and yard area. It is an easy walk through a nice neighborhood to Montana Avenue or the park along Ocean Avenue. ##### Niall B.

My daughter and I liked this place a lot. The bed was SO comfortable, its soft and luxurious and I was very well rested. The shower pressure is amazing. Parking was super simple and right out front. I walked over to the Santa Monica Stairs every morning and got some exercise in! We would definitely stay again. Super close to everything we wanted to explore in LA! ##### Jennifer C.

Just a safe comfortable bed and shower. This house was that. The hosts were extremely kind. Would stay again in a heartbeat. ##### skyler s.

It’s a very comfortable room with microwave, coffeemaker and fridge. You have your own private deck. Natalie was a caring, gracious host, but we had total privacy. Definitely recommend this place. ##### Carol R.

The home itself is spotless, beautiful and very comfortable. She added all sorts of extra touches that made our stay extra special. Natalie was a very helpful host providing us with local restaurant recommendations and walking routes. Couldn't be happier with our stay. The outdoor garden was an amazing feature! ##### Jennifer P. Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ron R. 4 Nov 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Quaint Cottage in Fantastic Location This is a private room in the owner’s home that is completely separated and private. So if you’re looking for an entire house with a kitchen and living room, this may not be for you. But for us, this place was perfect! The location is one of the best in Santa Monica. The place is immaculate and the bed was extremely comfortable. The shower in the bathroom was terrific and there is a cute little sitting area to enjoy a glass of wine. The outside has a nice pleasant area to sit and enjoy the fresh air. The owner is so accommodating and easy to deal with. And the area was extremely safe and convenient to take walks through beautiful neighborhoods with gorgeous landscaping! It’s also a nice walk to the bluffs overlooking the ocean or even to the beach if you don’t mind a fairly steep walk back. There are so many excellent restaurants within a 10-20 minute walk. We will absolutely be back! ##### Ron R.
