My boyfriend and I decided to visit Santa Monica and we wanted to try out airbnb since all the hotels were so expensive there. After our first host cancelled on us just a few days before our trip and the next few that we tried request to book declined us, we were starting to really regret choosing airbnb, until we finally found Donna and airbnb stepped in to help us out with our booking. Our stay at Donna's was amazing. The picture of the room is exactly how it looks in person. It's incredibly cute and vintage looking. The bed was super comfortable and the sheets were very soft. There is free parking on the side of the house which is a plus. The location of the home is very ideal if you're looking to really see everything that Santa Monica has to offer. It is very close to everything.....the beach, night life, restaurants, shopping areas, etc. It is close to literally everything and that is a big plus. You can either walk around or uber around since it is fairly cheap since the home is only a mile or two away from each destination. The home in all is a great choice if you want to see all of Santa Monica. But what made this stay even better was our host, Donna. She is just the nicest person ever. She was always available to answer our questions even when she was working. She went above and beyond her host duties with all of her help and extra accommodations. She's just the sweetest woman and I really couldn't have asked for a better host and better first airbnb experience. I would definitely stay with Donna again.
