For my wife and me, this was our first experience of Airbnb, and our hosts, Zizi and Harold, set the bar very high. They were gracious throughout our stay, and Zizi made some truly excellent breakfasts (certainly better than anything we would have gotten in an a comparably priced hotel).

The room was just as it had been described and photographed; it met our needs exactly. The backyard was lovely, and the entire house had an extremely attractive aesthetic.

The best part of our stay, though, was the opportunity to chat with our hosts, who are warm, intelligent, and welcoming.

If you're looking for a good place to stay while you explore Santa Monica or the area around it, you won't go wrong staying here.
