This was my first Airbnb experience and it worked out wonderfully! I stayed here for a full month while working on a writing project. The location was perfect: beautiful neighborhood, 2.5 mile run to the beach, convenient drives downtown and up to the valley. The room was spacious and clean as pictured, with a multifunctional workspace, and a quiet balcony. The house itself was also wonderful, full of interesting features, a various sprawling library, and a constantly lounging greyhound. Finally, the hosts were generous, kind, and attentive to details and any of my questions. Many, many thanks to Mattie et al. for facilitating my stay in Santa Monica!
