Aina was a great host. She is super responsive, replying within minutes of any message you send to her. The apartment itself had an AMAZING location; right in the heart of Santa Monica as advertised. It is close to the beach as well as the main shopping strip around Third Street Promenade. There's also garage parking, free wifi, and a tv (although the cable wasn't really working for us while we were there). All in all, a good choice if you want to be in Santa Monica!
