Karina & Ryan made us feel very welcome for our stay. Karina stayed in touch with us before our arrival and was there to welcome us when we arrived. The accommodations were exactly as described. The room and home we stayed in was clean, and thoughtfully and tastefully arranged. There were no overpowering perfumes or dryer sheet smells, and for that I was extremely grateful since I am very sensitive to those. Our hosts were very attentive to our needs, but otherwise gave us a lot of privacy. They are the sweetest couple you can imagine. The neighborhood is very charming and quintessential Santa Monica. Parking by permit gave us a lot of parking freedom in a community that is chronically short on parking. Ryan and Karina went out of their way to make our stay comfortable and enjoyable, and I am very grateful to them!
