Things I did not like about the stay: filthy, stained carpet in the bedroom (I brought my slippers so I was fine but still...), horrible loud fan in the bathroom that had to be on if the light was on, and old cracked linoleum tile in the kitchen, and dirty/broken drawers, owners personal things everywhere.
Things I liked about the stay: Location excellent, safe neighborhood, quiet comfy sleep, good TVs, french press, good water pressure and hot water, excellent/attentive host, bright living room with blonde wood floors, good internet, good reads. For the money, it was a value....you don't get much in the city of Santa Monica unless you are willing to pay $300/night or more.
