This was my first Airbnb stay and I really enjoyed it. The location is great and convenient to many interesting things including the beach, Palisades Park and downtown Santa Monica via the famous "Santa Monica Steps".

The space is nicely-decorated in mid-century colors and material as you can see and was clean and comfortable, with a nice bed and bath, and a small but usable kitchen. There's decent natural light although it is a basement flat.

From the listing and the pictures I got the impression that Leslie is very well-organized and helpful and she did not disappoint. She provided info and answered questions before I arrived and promptly via phone while I was out and about -- very nice! Check-in and out was easy, and there is a very nice packet of materials she has collected describing nearby amenities plus some books on local sightseeing ('The Stairs of Los Angeles') that are great.

I would happily reserve this flat again and I'd recommend Leslie and the location to anyone who wants to stay in the Santa Monica Canyon area.
