Zen's home was a great landing pad for my partner and I as we explored LA and were looking for a permanent home. We stayed for a month. The home itself felt very much like an "Airbnb" - meaning it was felt setup just for guests versus someone living there... so it was a tad sterile and not cozy. The internet worked fantastic for us both to work from home and be on video calls frequently. It was also great that the apartment came with a parking space below the building. It felt safe.
The home's location was on a somewhat quiet street but a 2 block walk to Erewhon (the best organic grocery store) and a short drive to all Santa Monica has to offer.
Zen was a FANTASTIC host. Very accommodating and quick to respond anytime we had questions or concerns. I would recommend him as a host any day.
