Nika and Austin were very hospitable and welcoming when I arrived in Santa Monica with my parents. We came too early to check-in so we left our luggages in their house and went shopping. And they helped us to move these heavy luggages when the room was ready. And I and my parents chatted with them when we came back from the beach and they asked if we could share a drink. Clean room, comfortable bed, nice layout, great location!
