Amelie and Jacob were great hosts. They allowed me check in early, which was very kind and convenient. I only had the opportunity to speak with Jacob on the phone and I could tell he was genuine and caring about making my stay comfortable. I met Amelie during check in and I had a few nice conversations with her over the 2 days I stayed. Their place is centrally located in Santa Monica, a few blocks from the Metro, bus routes, & bike path. They live close to restaurants/shopping. The beach is approx 3 miles away, which I had the opportunity to jog to. Their place is quiet and comfortable and I would recommend staying with them. Thank you Amelie & Jacob for opening your place to me.
