I wish that I could given 10 stars for these two wonderful hosts. You would be missing an opportunity by not staying here. Living near Cy and Simin has been the highlight of my extended stay here in LA/Santa Monica. They maintain a functional/cozy cottage with great yard space for my dogs! The fully updated kitchen has really allowed me to cook at home more often, even though the area is buzzing with great places to eat. Cy and Simin are always easily available to help with issues (of which there were basically none) or to give tips on popular places to eat or visit. The backyard is quiet and serene with nice seating and a garden. The property is a short walk from the Metro rail or bus stops, bike trail, and city amenities such as groceries and laundry services. They are big animal lovers! I have never felt more welcome! I will definitely stay in contact with these two amazing hosts as I feel like they are family now!
