We have been to Santa Monica to visit family many times and stayed in several hotels/motels. This time we were very pleased to stay in Olivier's AirBB room for 8 days. Our first AIR BB experience. We owned a B&B for many years so we know what makes a stay enjoyable. The room had everything we could want, a very comfortable bed, great bathroom, small kitchenette, plenty of closet space, and a quiet location within walking distance to a Starbucks! The price was more than reasonable and was a real incentive for booking. Our host was welcoming, helpful, pleasant and an interesting man. He helped when we needed it and left us alone when that was needed. Perfect. We had a washer and dryer to use that helped enormously. Having a secure parking place made life much easier as well. When we return we can only hope that this room will be available again. Thank you Olivier!
