Nicole is a fantastic host. She is responsive and knowledgeable about the area. The unit is perfect for what my friend and I needed for our extended stay in Santa Monica. The kitchen is stocked, the living area is spacious, the bedrooms are large and comfortable, there is plenty of storage, and the in unit washer/dryer is so convenient. We were less than a 15 minute walk "door to door" from the beach. If we ever needed anything (happened very rarely), Nicole was there within a few hours with a new lightbulb or new pan. Highly recommend staying here!
