Ideal location and comfortable stay for my husband and I. Close to shops, restaurants and for us most importantly our son and his family. We will stay again.

Great location, nice property

This is a beautiful house with a gorgeous terrace in one of the best neighborhoods in Santa Monica. The owners live downstairs and the apartment is upstairs and has a separate entrance. The only reason that I gave 4 stars instead of 5 is because the listing is a little misleading. The apartment has a nice master bedroom, a very nice master bathroom and a second bedroom with no windows and a tiny half bathroom (toilet and sink but no shower or bathtub). The third (very small) bedroom (with no closet) and the second full bathroom are outside the apartment and can only be accessed through an outdoor hallway. We were 2 couples, my husband and I, plus our son and daughter-in-law and we ended up all using the master bathroom. However, we really enjoyed the place and spent a lot of time on the beautiful terrace!

Gorgeous house in a gorgeous neighborhood. Very close to restaurants and stores. 15 minute drive from the beach. The view from the rooftop is stunning. The house has stairs, so may not be appropriate for people with certain disabilities or small children. We loved it.

Great place to stay! Convenient location that is close to Santa Monica restaurants, etc.

Joe and Sara are wonderful hosts. They were quick to respond to any questions we had, thoughtful to welcome us with fresh flowers, a hand written note, a breakfast Danish, and fresh milk when we arrived, and kind to accommodate some friends we wanted to have over to show off their amazing rooftop. The view from the deck is amazing and a great place to relax after a day of visiting nearby LA sites. We loved the quiet neighborhood, easy parking, and exploring Montana street. Also, enjoyed being close enough to go for a morning run to beautiful Palisades Park. The property was very clean and had everything we needed, even a full size washing machine and dryer. I especially appreciated the filtered water (thanks!). The kitchen was a good size, but I have to confess, we didn't do a lot of cooking since we were on vacation, mostly reheating. There's a full size fridge so it fits a lot of pizza boxes. ha! The beds were all comfortable with plenty of linens and towels. Even though the property is near the beach, it was nice to have AC which worked very well. When we first arrived, it was fun to open all the doors and find all the rooms. It has a unique flow but reminds you that you're in LA and we loved the good use of all the space! Thank you for a great stay! Highly recommend!

We loved staying here! The space was lovely, the outdoor/upstairs space was so unique and served as a great alternative hangout spot. The kitchen was nice, pots and pans, coffee maker. Though, there were no condiments, so be aware that if you're planning on cooking, you need everything-including salt, pepper and oil.

This property was stunning and the views were magnificent. What a place to watch the sunset! Thank you so much for hosting our stay.

Property is located minutes away from Santa Monica Pier, restaurants, and shopping. Hosts were very accommodating with check-in needs. We enjoyed our stay very much.

This property was the PERFECT spot for our family to enjoy the sights in and around LA! We were able to cook breakfast in the mornings. The kitchen had everything we needed. The rooftop deck gave us a beautiful place to relax. To have a reserved parking spot was PRICELESS. To be able to walk to shops on Montana was icing on the cake. Sara was quick to respond to any and all questions. To walk into their place to fresh flowers, snacks, coffee and milk in the fridge was icing on the cake! Thank you for sharing this special place with our family.

Check in was breeze. Home is in a perfect location within walking distance a ton of restaurants and the beach. Unit is adequately equipped and very homey. I would definitely return and stay again.

Clean, spacious, comfortable apartment in the heart of Santa Monica. Lovely roof deck with 360 views of Los Angeles. Very well equipped kitchen. Comfortable beds. Quiet. Close to beach, shops, restaurants.

Great host and great area.

We loved our stay here. They added great little homey touches to the home. Great location to the places we needed to be for our work trip. Also walking distance to great cafes and restaurants. But make sure you leave time to enjoy the roof and soak in the views.

Host super nice, always available when we had questions, location is a must, close to Montana avenue, very quiet.

We had a fantastic experience. This may the best neighborhood in the L.A. area. Montana is wonderful with shops, restaurants, cafes and the best coffee houses. Walking to Ocean Ave and the beach is easy and beautiful. The house worked very well for us.

The location is terrific. Hosts attentive. The bed desperately needs to be replaced- this was noted by others in 2021 but a mattress topper isn’t the fix. 3 stars because sleep matters and we didn’t sleep well in the hollowed out mattress. Otherwise, it is a purely functional condo in an excellent location. We were out all day and just there to sleep and eat breakfast - would be 5 stars with an update to the only shower and the king mattress.

We really enjoyed our stay at the villa!

Absolutely nothing not to love.From Joe and Sara Bruni to the location,nearby restaurants,walking the beautiful neighborhood, dinner or just relaxing on the terrific third floor outdoor area there was nothing not to love.And the home itself is stunning.But the best part was spending eight wonderful days with my wife,family and grandkids.Priceless!If you are reading this and wondering if you should go or not…GO!

We couldn't have been more pleased with our stay. The kids especially loved the balcony overlooking the beautiful views of Santa Monica. Cute shops literally a block away-enjoyed getting coffee and macaroons and the French cafe.

Great Location!

Being able to walk to just about anything we needed was great!. Just walking in the beautiful neighborhood was a treat. The homes and landscaping are stunning. We would definitely stay here again.

Beautiful apartment, excellent location, everything was easy as the kitchen and laundry situations were just about perfect! Couldn’t recommend more highly!

Clean, spacious, amazing views from rooftop deck, great location within walking distance to town with shops and restaurants, parking on premise, comfortable, a real home away from home, washer/dryer and owners are very attentive and responsive. We can’t say enough about our experience. Even small touches by owner, Sara, who left flowers, pastries, and milk for us when we arrived. We highly recommend staying in this stunning home.

Nice central location. Easy walk to restaurants and coffee places. I would definitely stay again.

It was a good base for us to use to visit with family in the area.

The property is perfectly located just off Montana Blvd. in Santa Monica- just as pictured there are two bedrooms, kitchen, living room and bathroom and a third bedroom with its own bathroom across the landing - which turned out to be an ideal hideaway for our teenage nephew. The decor is cozy, warm and comfortable and the piece de resistance is the roof deck ideal for soaking in some rays and relaxing into a California vibe!
