Location was great and in close proximity to a lot of the area's attractions including the third street promenade and Santa Monica beach/pier. The host was very helpful in terms of recommending us places and giving us tips about the neighbourhood. The room walls are quite thin, however, so you have to be mindful of the noise you make. At times we felt we were disturbing the family by showering or chatting really late in the night but they never complained about it. Nonetheless, the host and her family are very accommodating and friendly people.
