SUPERHOST!! John is a total blast. If you look up "Laid-Back Santa Monica" in the dictionary, there ought to be a picture of him. He greeted me warmly, communicated promptly, and gave me space when I needed it. We had several great chats. The space is super-clean, quiet, and just as shown in the pix. You're close to: The Ocean, Malibu, Venice Beach, Santa Monica Pier & Promenade, Beverly Hills, LAX, the bus line, Hollywood. I'm not seein' any negatives here, folk. Thanks, John, for making it so fun!!
