Nicole was a great host. Very responsive and attentive to my needs (I.e. she brought me an extra fan when it got warmer and replacement items to anything that broke - new cutting boards and pans, toaster, etc.). Quiet unit and very bright! Garden is beautiful and maintained very well. Felt very safe and neighbors were friendly. Convenient location within walking distance to promenade and restaurants. I ended up extending my stay by 4 months because I just fell in love with Santa Monica! Thanks Nicole!
