Karen is an extraordinary host and a delightful woman; her beautiful, private cottage was perfect for my time in Santa Monica. She and I had extensive communication prior to my arrival, and she was incredibly kind, gracious and accommodating regarding my health needs. Karen was also very welcoming to my son, who dropped off groceries for me ahead of my evening arrival, and she thoughtfully stored the items in visible, accessible places.
During my stay, Karen was attentive and caring: checking in to ensure my comfort and bringing over a space heater when the outside temp got chilly. Her artistic flair is evident throughout the cottage, and she provides so many thoughtful amenities (my favorites being the luxurious robe, the elegant bath towels and the well-stocked kitchen). I appreciated the quiet neighborhood, the sparkling clean cottage with its private yard, and the proximity to Clover Park where my son, his dog and I spent many wonderful hours.
If my son remains in Santa Monica, I'll definitely book Karen's cottage for future visits. It's no surprise that she's received 5 stars in every Airbnb category, and she has certainly earned the Superhost designation!
