Karen is a gem of a host and her home reflects that. She was super communicative and always so accommodating. She was so fun to chat with and very generous with her home. The bedroom was clean, cozy, and had everything you would need for a short stay. The bed was super comfy and there was plenty of closet and drawer space to store my things. The bathrobes were an added bonus! I was on a work trip while there and was able to work in the back patio which was such a treat. Her home is located in a more residential area of Santa Monica but a quick walk/bicycle/scooter ride to nearby restaurants, park and cafes and short 10 min drive to downtown Santa Monica. Loved it here and would absolutely return and recommend to a friend.
