This place, and places akin, are the sole reason of why I will never stay at a hotel again. It just does not make sense. Lovely location with a 5 minute walk to the beach and the shopperies/eateries of Santa Monica. And to a bargain. Just a perfect room with everything you can possibly need tucked away in a fresh, clean and thoughtful milieu. Fresh coffee just a block away from Starbucks and a more hip place. Ryan and Mira was accommodating and flexible, balanced in that perfect way without being in the way, just as you want it with AirBnB. I will definitely stay with Ryan and Mira next time I am in town.
