Chow's place is a cozy and affordable apartment in Santa Monica, good for me (party of 1) to use as a place to sleep, and walking distance to restaurants and cafes in Santa Monica.
A few things to note:
- The room is in a unit that has a shared kitchen, shared living room, and 3 bedrooms. The host occupied the bedroom right next to mine, and another renter occupied the master bedroom.
- The room is not huge - just enough space for the bed and desk, with a fairly roomy closet. But that's to be expected. I think it would be tight for any more than 1 person.
- The listing says the bathroom is private. However, it's not connected to the bedroom - you have to leave the bedroom into the living room to use it. (I believe it also may be shared with the host, but I'm not certain).
- No shoes inside the house
- The host likes to keep the door open, so the room can get quite cold. Socks and a sweater came in handy.
- Parking is free on the adjacent street
