Our stay was overall very pleasant. The place offers everything we need. We only just need to have our own clothes and personal items. The location is great, walking distance to a park for kids to play, to beach and 3rd street Promenade. The communication has been good. Having a washer is a bless! TV and internet are very good, no hiccups at all. The host also offers a free parking space which was great since Santa Monica is not easy to find parking.
Several minor things to know though. We had some difficulties getting into the dedicated parking space as it is very tight and on the decline (it scratches the bottom of the car every in and out). But this is not the host’s fault as we feel blessed to have a dedicated parking spot if we could not find street parking.
The beddings can be cleaner. Maybe this is the housekeepers’ issue, not the host’s. There is a washer (but no drawer), so you can wash the bedding if you wish.
We would suggest the host to kid-proof edges as the nightstand has sharp edges (especially if the place is meant to be family-friendly).
Last but not least, we would like to thank the host to make the place clean and nice put together. We enjoyed our time there and would recommend to friends and families.
