Great hosts, full of warmth and energy! They gave great suggestions for the area. The place was homey but not exactly as advertised, it needs a lot of touch ups. Interaction with the hosts can be expected leaving and entering the stay. A street parking pass is provided which proved to be very helpful. It is a two minute walk from the metro which can take you directly to Santa Monica beach! The metro being so close also resulted in a few unwanted loiterers in the area.
