I had a fantastic time staying at Owen’s place - it is exactly as depicted in the photos and was spotless. Very convenient to have a washer/dryer available as well. Location was excellent- about a 15min walk/5min drive from the Abbott Kinney shopping street and Owen provided a very extensive binder providing great recommendations for fun and dining.
I travel often to Santa Monica for work and usually stay at a hotel in Marina Del Rey for the same price point as Owen’s place and this by far is much better than the hotel. The special touches that made it more of a home than a temporary stay truly made a difference - from having the multi-room Sonos speaker system so I could listen to music while getting ready in the morning to falling asleep looking at the beautiful skylight in the bedroom (or occasionally on the comfy living room couch watching TV). Overall, I
would highly recommend for couples, solo travelers, or people on work travel. I would absolutely stay here again.
