My wife and I traveled to santa Monica for the Los Angeles marathon and decided to stay at an Air BnB for the first time. It was an awesome experience. We were greeted by Alec, who showed us around and made us feel right at home. The casita was immaculate, and very charming. The location could not have been better. About 1 mile and a half from the Santa Monica Pier, and located in a charming tree lined neighborhood surrounded by eclectic restaurants and stores. The location was just perfect to get out and have fun, but also very quiet when I needed to rest for the marathon. Shelly and Alec even made us coffee and served us some awesome cookies before our departure. We will be back in the summer for sure. Thanks Shelly and Alec!
