Santa Monica holiday house

It's not often that one can review something and be completely at a loss to find fault. This is truly the case in regard to this lovely and meticulously well kept English Cottage in Santa Monica. Our family of 4 had the distinct pleasure of renting the cozy home for 5 months and cannot seem to recall one negative about the experience! We loved the tree lined street it sits on and its close proximity to everything; a mile from the beach, a library at the end of the street, easy access to freeways, near a Big Blue Bus stop, great restaurants within walking distance (check out The Counter), parks nearby, 3rd St. Promenade only minutes away, and a wonderful weekly farmer's market only 2 blocks away. We enjoyed waking to the cheerfulness of the uniquely well lit kitchen, which was well stocked with every necessity. Having fresh oranges, mangoes and limes growing right outside our door was especially wonderful! Liv, the homeowner, a very amiable and conscientious landlord, took care to install access and hook ups for computers, cable television and gaming devices. Our kids still talk about how much they loved living there! The creature comforts certainly made us comfortable, but what made our experience most memorable was the care and warmth that Liv showed us and how she carefully anticipated our needs. If we are able to return to L.A. for any length of time, we will look no further than this perfect English Cottage!
