I stayed here for 16 nights and overall it was pretty good.
Pros:
Host is very quick to respond. Helped with my many packages being delivered.
Check-in is a simple keypad entry.
Nice walkway outside along golf course.
Cons
Noisy - Closeby airport means jets take off directly overhead. And fridge is loud at night.
Room layout - it's actually a foyer converted into a bedroom. It's okay but awkward. Like two narrow posts to squeeze through to go to bathroom.
Old - blankets, furniture and decor could use an update. Feels stodgy.
Thin curtains - street lights enter the room at night
Lighting - no lighting over the dining table. It's basically three oddly placed lights to light the whole place.
Internet - Fluctuates randomly from very fast to very slow. Kind of annoying.
Overall, its great value for santa monica. And the quiet residential street is a plus. But it could be a lot nicer with just some simple fixes.
