This place is great for various reasons: First, Karim is a great host who accommodates to your needs in every way and at every step of your reservation and your stay. He allowed early check-in, late check-out and was in constant communication with us. Second, location is great, easy to park, close to everything, beautiful area in Santa Monica. Third, place has what you need, not big but enough for 2-3 people. It has AC, which we did not use because we are from South Florida and are used to the heat, but it is good to know you can turn it on if needed. Kitchen well equipped.
