The listing description was accurate. He apt is very neat and clean and it shows that he cares values his things and asks that his guests do the same. I felt welcomed when I arrived and John would periodically check-in to see if I needed anything or had any questions about his apt or the area. His neighborhood was amazing! Walking distance from Santa Monica pier, Santa Monica Beach and Venice Beach. Buses in the area were easy to find and use to get the local experience of seeing more of the town. There was also a laundromat minutes away from his apartment which was convenient.

John also carved out time for us to get to know one another and that helped me feel warm staying at his place. Can't wait to visit again!

He also organized his fridge so that the right side was free for me to store any leftovers or groceries I purchased during my stay.

I'd highly recommend staying with John!
