Great and affordable studio in the heart of Santa Monica. Jeff and Carissa were excellent hosts. My mother stayed for 2 months, beginning in early November 2020. Jeff was very responsive and even gave me a tour of the apartment before my mom arrived. The apartment is located behind the main home where Jeff and his family reside. There are three apartments in the back. My mother, a very active 76 yr old senior, felt welcome and very safe. The queen size bed was very comfortable, there is ample closet space, wifi and cable ready. There is a full size bathroom and kitchen--which is equipped with a coffee maker, microwave, utensils, plates, bowls, cups, a full size stove and fridge and a small breakfast nook for two. The apartment gets a lot of light. Right outside, there is a table and four chairs. Every morning my mother loved sitting outside with a cup of coffee watching the hummingbirds fly by. This is a great spot for a couple or a single that wants to be in the middle of Santa Monica. You can walk to Bay Cities Italian Deli, Bodega Wine Bar, various coffee shops and the farmers market. If you are noise conscious and using the apartment for online mtgs, there is construction going on next door. They only work 9-4 during the week. It's not unbearable, but you can certainly hear it. Otherwise, this was a GREAT find. Jeff and Carissa really outdid themselves. My mother and I highly recommend this spot! We will be back later this year!
