Mena's airbnb is perfect. I used to live in Santa Monica (2 blocks from her place!), and so appreciated the proximity to the ocean and Main St. in santa monica. Everything you need is within a 5-25 min walk. Moreover, I appreciated Mena's hospitality. There were welcome snacks on arrival, coffee and tea; there are beach towels, good shampoo and conditioner, and extra towels. Her apartment is adorable, so cozy and comfortable - I really loved her design aesthetic. There are also a million cookbooks, which were fun to peruse and made it feel like home. We didn't have a reason to use the kitchen, but it was a really nice one. There was also a washer/dryer. The beds and pillows were comfy. We appreciated the parking permits as well.
