Teresa was an amazing host, she was really welcoming and gave us some great recommendations! The building was in a great location close to the Santa Monica Pier and in a nice neighbourhood.
However, there is VERY limited street parking and we really struggled finding a spot, having to park really far away some nights. The walls are also really thin and we could hear a lot of what the other tenants in the building was up to so it was quite loud and kept us awake. Lastly the room got pretty hot and the fan didn’t do a whole lot so it got a bit sweaty.
Overall, if you don’t have a car and you’re looking for a cheaper option in the Santa Monica area this is a great place to check out. If you need parking/like a cooler temperature at night in the Summer, I probably wouldn’t recommend.
