I have no idea how Saloumeh went above and beyond her stellar reviews and my expectations but she did! I would highly recommend this spot as the best place to stay in Santa Monica by far. Spotless, quiet, beautiful home, room and bathroom. Convenient, safe location. Saloumeh takes outstanding care of her guests. For me it was the perfect balance of having a caring host with positive, interesting interactions (great conversations, advice on the area, delicious salads and fruit) and privacy. I felt comfortable and at home.
