I spend two nights at Matt’s place and I had a very nice stay. Matt is very kind and heplfull. The room was spacious and the bed was very confortable. The room was clean but I find that the bath could be a little more cleanier. The room is about 10 to 15 min in car from the beach and the parking in the area is easy. Overall I recommand you Matt’s place if you stay in Santa Monica / Venice area.
