No more hotels for me!
This was my first time doing an overseas holiday rental. I was advised by my travel agent against organising an apartment. After my experience with my latest trip, not sure if I would use hotels again! It's great if you have children (needing a washing machine) or want to experience more of the local lifestyle. I highly recommend the loft apartment in Santa Monica. Deborah was fantastic with her continual communication, putting my mind at ease, that I had made the right decision hiring the loft. The property was very clean with lots of towels available. We had full use of garage for rental car, beach chairs and very short walk for your day-to-day items and tasty pho shop, if you wanted a cheap quick meal. It is walking distance to the beach and little further, down the beach is Santa Monica pier. We also did a day trip to Malibu, with the hire car. My only negative would be stay longer than 3 nights. Its such a beautiful part of the world. Thanks Deborah for an amazing experience.

Perfect spot to explore LA
My family and I stayed here for 6 nights and it was great. 15-20 minute walk to a trader Joe’s and a great kitchen to work in. We loved the location and the separate spaces. Would 100% stay here again

Loft House Is cozy
Loft House is a very appropriate name. Very efficient, cozy, clean. One bedroom downstairs and then spiral staircase to an even loftier space. Very convenient to many places, but quiet

Comfortable and quiet
Very comfortable property. Good location. Garage parking space is too small because there another car that is too close to the guest spot. We ended up parking on the street which was fine as there were plenty of spaces.

Wonderful Home !
Our stay was wonderful. We arrived and it was extremely clean and bright and cheery. Lots of windows and natural light and the location was perfect . There were plenty of fresh towels and a couple of water bottles in the fridge which was thoughtful. Check out was effortless . We highly recommend a stay here and we will definitely return!

Excellent location, quiet neighbourhood great property
This house was the end of our road trip through California and it didn’t disappoint. The property was exactly as listed. It is located in a nice neighbourhood and we walked to Santa Monica pier to enjoy restaurants and sunsets and walked back later in the evenings as well. It was great base to explore the rest of LA. The loft house had everything we needed and we would definitely stay again.

Modern loft in beautiful Santa Monica
We loved the place! The upstairs patio was lovely. Having a garage and washer/dryer was SUCH a bonus! Obviously the stairs (especially the small spiral set) are a bit of a challenge - big suitcases wud be hard to lug up to the upper bedroom. I would suggest a full length mirror added to that room. Our 24 yr old daughter stayed up there, worked from the desk part of the time and LOVED it!

Great stay!
My family and I stayed for the 4th of July weekend and had a nice time. The drive to Universal was only 30 minutes and the drive to the beach was 10. Nice little kitchen with all the utensils you could need, lots of streaming services on both TVs, clean, cute, and very comfortable.

Perfect Santa Monica Home-Base
The home was beautiful, amazing natural light from windows throughout the open floor plan. Comfortable living area, great full kitchen (we used most nights), Nestled on a quiet neighborhood street but just a short drive to Venice Boardwalk, Santa Monica Pier, & Marina Del Rey. We also had convenient drives to the Hollywood sign and Griffith Observatory, the LACMA, Walk of Fame, Beverly Hills & Rodeo Drive. We needed a location near the coast but reasonable commutes to everything else LA has to offer. Both bedrooms were comfortable and the loft room was exquisite. All of us took turns enjoying the roof patio as well and it was nice to have garage parking. Another special touch, and much appreciated, was the beach chairs, umbrella and towels available for our use. It was a very pleasant stay and the amenities were perfect.

Loft House - Santa Monica
My family loved staying at the Loft House for 5 days while we attended my sons’s graduation from UCLA. It had everything we needed for 4 people. We loved the cleanliness, location, quiet neighborhood, modernness, and other amenities of the Loft House. Host, Deborah, was just a text away when we needed her with an issue we had with the gas stove. Everything else was excellent. The only problem maybe the spiral stair case to the second floor that is steep and may not be good for older people or small children. Highly recommend staying here and will stay at the Loft House again in the future.

Appartement agréable
Appartement-maison très agréable dans un quartier végétalisé, paisible et sûr. Un garage est disponible pour la voiture. Tout est conforme à la description. -Prévoir juste un masque de nuit pour dormir le matin si vous êtes sensible à la lumière. -Il manque juste une machine à expresso si comme nous vous le préférez au café filtre. Bravo Deborah pour votre accueil.

Relaxing Stay in SaMo
Our family really enjoyed our stay here. The neighborhood is pretty and quiet, with easy access to all that Santa Monica has to offer. The owner was super helpful. You will need to access the loft bedroom via a spiral staircase--no problem for us, but don't try to carry heavy luggage up! Would recommend this property heartily!

Great home, nice neighborhood
The garage apartment was clean, stocked and chill for my visit to the area. Unfortunately, much of my stay was rainy, which sprung a leak above my head in bed on night one, which was not great! I understand that contractors are hard to come by on weekends, but I also expected someone to check it during my stay. Instead, I relocated to the loft (which was awesome) and slept peacefully and without rain for the rest of my stay. The kitchen was well equipped for food preparation and the availability of parking was clutch. I suspect the leak will be addressed for a future renter, and I would definitely recommend staying at that location for families visiting the area.

Beautiful spot
This was the perfect spot for our family of four to stay while visiting the LA area. It looked exactly like the photos - very clean and well-stocked, along with plenty of charm. The check-in instructions were thorough, and the owner was responsive. The location was also great; we walked to a restaurant and a grocery store during our stay, and it was within easy driving distance of the other sites we wanted to visit. I'd definitely stay here again.
