Myself and my 2 boys went to Santa Monica for 5 days, I booked apt 306 with Silvio. We were really looking forward to staying at this property of Silvios it looked great along with the other apts. in this building. Although there was a minor mix up, we did not end up staying at Silvios building, but the accomadations Silvio made for us were fool proof not even one block away from apt 306 was the first hotel ever built in Santa Monica, Hotel Carmel. He booked us a family room (two rooms adjoining but still private with bath in between)that was perfect for us. Same price on our end, exact location as we had planned but also excellent concierge service, friendly faces, and valet parking (trying to park on weekends in this area would only frustate you!)
Our drive to Disney was rather easy and took about 1 hour to 1 hr 15 min. from the Santa Monica Pier Area.
All in all our Accomadations and host Silvio could not have been more helpful with any questions or directions around town and was totally in tune with Myself and 2 boys and kept us in mind the whole stay.
Also since we were in the same area we hit up Ma'Kai the resturant below Silvios Apts., a must try, food is incredible, and great happy hour prices! We look forward to next year, This was my first ever online booking and Airbnb and their Host Silvio made it to easy.
Thanks so much!
