Azita and her husband are warm and lovely hosts. It was very important to them to make me feel comfortable and they were helpful whenever needed. I stayed for 2 weeks in their cozy home and felt very welcome the entire time. I could move freely in the entire house and had my private space in the guest room. Just mentioning that it is a small house, but that was perfectly fine for me. We had great chats when we ran into each other but I also had my privacy.
The location is in a quiet neighborhood, close to the beach/Pier (15 min by bicycle) and stores/Cafés etc. but also far enough from the Santa Monica downtown action.
I would definitely stay here again.
