My family and I (family of three) stayed at Nicole's for 41 days, from July 18 to August 27. The AirBnB was excellent. The building is a charming quadruplex in a quiet enclave in Santa Monica. Located on 15th street between California and Wilshire, the location provides immediate (1 mile) access to the coast and direct access to the broader L.A. Metro Area via Santa Monica and Wilshire Boulevards and I-10. I loved waking up many mornings and making the one mile jog to the coast then another 0.5 mile jog to the Santa Monica pier along Ocean Drive.
The unit is on the top floor and is just as it appears in the images. There are many windows that provide natural light and that may be opened to permit a cool and refreshing breeze. There is no air conditioning in the unit, but two floor fans and the natural breeze provided ample ventilation and cooling in the Summer. The two bedrooms are large; one provides access to the back courtyard via a staircase. There is a laundry room at the back of the property, but it looked like it had not been used in a long time; my family and I instead used a laundromat a few blocks away throughout our stay.
Nicole is an excellent host and is very responsive. We only had two maintenance issues during our stay: a slow drain in the bathtub and a repair of the kitchen garbage disposal. Nicole responded to both requests within an hour and sent a repair man the same day for both requests.
My family and I would absolutely look to stay with Nicole again and at this property again on our next stay in Santa Monica.
