Odile's place was wonderful. It is a lovely, clean, and private place in a great location near Santa Monica beach. Odile was extremely friendly and communication was excellent through my stay. She provides all the amenities you need to be comfortable, and even provided snacks, maps, books, and drinks in the fridge. The shower and bathroom are very clean, and the facilities are new. I stayed for a total of 3 weeks, and always felt comfortable, safe, and at home. She has a lovely garden and parking on the street was never an issue. If I ever need to stay around Santa Monica again, I would not hesitate to come back here to stay. Odile is also a lovely host, and checked on me to see if I needed anything during my stay. If you are looking for a clean, private, comfortable place to stay near Santa Monica for work or vacation, this is the perfect place to stay.
