Okay let me just start this by saying this is all MY experience with nothing but the TRUTH. If you are looking for a room in Santa Monica I honestly would look elsewhere. This is a great location but its not enough to make up for the cons. The first con to me is that the room actually wasn't that nice. The bed was disgusting looking as well as all the pillows. The shower was just as gross and the water wasn't draining quick enough so your feet would constantly be in dirty water. Pretty much everything in the room was dirty. Next, is privacy. I chose this place thinking that i would be the only one with access to this room until I leave and boy was I wrong. I happened to be unbuttoning my jeans when the door, which at the time was locked, was opened by the cleaning lady which also had a key to the room. She came in and told me she was here to clean and put bedsheets on the bed, which honestly should have been put on before my arrival and not 3 hours after I got here!! Now I was a little surprised about all this so I decided to give Silvio a call. I told him about the situation and I got a very rude reply saying that she was the cleaning lady and that she will be in and out of the room like that. I tried to explain to him about how he didn't mention that on the Airbnb page and how I kind of felt like the room pretty much would have no privacy but he wasn't understanding and once again, rudely replying. After that, I decided to take my valuables with me everywhere I went because I just couldn't trust the lady or Silvio anymore. For all I know, someone else could have another key to the room. Overall, I didn't enjoy Silvio's rudeness, cleanliness of the room, or the fact that someone else can come in to my room and ruin my privacy. Pretty much the only good thing about this place is the location and its not even worth it.
