“A more than perfect stay! Living like Californians in an amazing home, well designed for Californian warm weather and the cooling Pacific sea breeze. Indoor- outdoor living at its best. For our family it was perfect to explore Southern California, the culture, sports, the beaches, catch waves and most important ... live like a local, enjoying the house, the garden and the neighborhood. Really appreciated and enjoyed the communication with Louise and family, the travel tips, the energy, enthusiasm, organization and all the little gestures that made our holiday so memorable and even better than we could have hoped for. Thank you so much! ”

About our home
SO SORRY NO AVAILABILITY LEFT FOR 2023
Our quintessential California living home was completely remodeled in 2014 and features a modern kitchen, open plan living area with giant sliding windows that overlook a great garden and giant tree. Three very compact bedrooms with three bathrooms, one of which is accessed from the garden, will ensure comfort for the evening after a hectic day of beach fun, cycling on the promenade and delicious meals at fantastic local restaurants. Sit outside on the balcony or on the patio under a tree and barbecue or sit around the outside fire pit, enjoy, LIFE IS GREAT! (Please note we do not take reservations under 5 days).

Louise's reviews
As a host (7)“Better then described. What a lovely home. Louise was extremely easy to communicate with and very accommodating. Such a pleasure. I look forward to returning. Thank you Louise. Thank you LoveHomeSwap.”
“The house is very beautiful, with lots of light and great decoration. Location is perfect. Close to Abbot Kinney or Santa Monica. Louse was a great host, very responsive and kind. We had a great time there and would love to swap again. ”
“lovely modern home with absolutely every we needed. communication was so easy even thou we had to cancel part of our trip. Great location - we walked down to Venice Beach and Abbot Kinney daily. And we also walked to Santa Monica but that was quite a walk. Duch a relaxing house to come home to after a long day out.”
“This home is set back from the beach but it's in a perfect location for jumping on the freeway, grabbing a bike to go to the beach or just driving to our favourite Supermarket in the World - Wholefoods!! We need one of these here! Zizi's home is absolutely stunning, very roomy, comfortable and so stylish. We enjoyed celebrating my husband's birthday with another family from New Zealand who were also travelling California. The outside spaces were perfect and everything was so easy to use. We absolutely loved staying here and have told all our friends about the wonderful experiences we've had by being fortunate enough to be able to stay here. Many thanks Zizi for sharing your home with us which just added another dimension to our holiday xo”
“Louise's house is a hidden gem of peace and tranquillity after a long day exploring LA. You would love to reach home to unwind and relax. Spacious, well organised and relaxing these are the key features for a beautiful home to welcome a big family of 5. The predominantly color white made us feel at home. Although we spent most of the time dining out, the house has a very well organised and fully equipped kitchen which was the perfect ingredient for our morning breakfast, the possibility to sit outside while you are having a cup of tea whilst the sun was gracing the house was just a marvellous start of the day. Louise was the perfect host she helped us settling in the house making sure that our stay was just perfect. Thank you again for allowing us to stay in your beautiful home.”
“Zizi was a wonderful host, full of advice!! She helped us with many different things! The communication was always very fast and fluent. The house was immaculate! Very beautiful, clean, spacious, etc. Every detail was very special. We loved to stay in this place and it really was more than expected! I really would love to have the opportunity to come back some day, in a near future! Thank you Zizi!!! You have an amazing home!”

Where is it?
Neighbourhood
We are in the lovely suburb of Santa Monica, a 20 minute walk to the beach. Our street is a tight knot community in a short dead end street. As we sit up a steep hill there is a view out across the valley. Santa Monica is fabulous, the end of route 66, the Pier, 4th Street Shops and Promenade. We are at the southern end of Santa Monica so we are very close to Venice with all it's wonderful restaurants and shops on Abbott Kinney Boulevard. Newly up and coming Rose Street is a ten minute walk away for its restaurants.
