I really enjoyed staying in Jeff's bungalow. I'm an English businessman in my mid fifties, and used to staying in quality hotels on company expenses. However I was visiting Santa Monica at my own cost en route back to the UK after a business trip, and I couldn't justify the hotel prices. The was my first AirBNB as I was doing this on a budget.
Jeff's place is newly (and tastefully) renovated and was spotlessly clean. However, if you are security conscious be aware that the door and windows are flimsy, a child could break in with bare hands. It's an old wooden building after all. However it's in a quiet location in a good neighbourhood and I didn't feel worried. It got a bit chilly overnight (it was November after all) but there was a fan heater in the bungalow which I used.
The location is perfect, several cafes for breakfast a few minutes walk away, and downtown Santa Monica easy to walk to. The parking permit was very welcome too. All in all I was very comfortable and really enjoyed my stay. I also got to see Jeff and his band play a gig in a bar in Main St nearby.
