David and Arturo are very quick and precise in giving out instructions, they made sure that I had all the information I needed, including printing the parking passes since I don’t own any printer. Arturo was super quick to drop by and cleaned the Keurig coffee machine, my first morning at the Airbnb. They also delivered a package I was waiting for right to the front door. The Airbnb is a 17-minute walk from the beach, which I took advantage of by walking to the beach daily. To the North is a quieter boardwalk towards beautiful Pacific Palisades with the mountains in the background. To the South is a happening boardwalk towards Venice. It’s also only 15-minute drive away from the Santa Monica Mountains which is a hiker’s heaven. The kitchen happens to be my favorite part of the Airbnb, it’s huge, especially the spacious kitchen island where I could spread my two laptops, books and papers; since I was also working remotely while I was there. The listing mentions no private entrance but I had never encountered anyone else while coming in and out of the property. I truly enjoyed my month-long stay and would definitely recommend it for exploring Santa Monica.
