You get what you pay for. Janet is nice, but the only thing this place has going for it is the location — close to the beach, an amazing cafe (Urth Cafe), and Santa Monica. The place was dirty and grimy. Found a giant dust ball under the chair, huge spider webs in the corners of the bedroom ceiling, crumbs and grime in the kitchen. Place needs a good deep cleaning. The smoke detector is laying on the ground in the corner. The bathroom has a lot of rust and grime. You’ll want to have an extra pair of flip flops or cheap slippers to walk around in. The listing said extra towels were in the bathroom and there were none. And we really needed them because during our first night the ceiling in the bedroom formed a huge bubble and we woke up to a giant puddle of water and leak. Had to use all of our bathroom towels to clean it up. It took the owner more than three hours to respond to our message about the leak. She said she’d give us a small refund for the problem and we still haven’t received it two weeks later…
If you’re looking for a place to literally only sleep and shower, it works. Otherwise, pay a little extra and find a cleaner, nicer spot.
