Nicely situated in Santa Monica, staying in a room at a nice family! Really cute and cozy dog too. Simple to borrow their bikes to get around faster, and parking in the area was easy with a permit from the family. Easy access from the freeway, and also getting to the beach (15-20 min walk).
If you want more privacy, maybe look for something else. You have to access your room and the bathroom via their living room. The only place to stay more in private is in the room you’re renting, otherwise you’ll likely meet each other everyday of your stay.
However, very nice people whom gave us a lot of tips for our stay in LA!
