Olivier was a most excellent host. Although I didn't get to meet him personally he was very accommodating, keeping in touch with me every step of the way in figuring out how to get into and out of the house. The room itself was very cozy. The bed was wonderfully comfortable and the furnishing was quaint. Olivier also left out coffee and tea in the morning as well as a water filter. This was also my first time in Santa Monica and Olivier was nice enough to have created a customized map of the area as well as places to visit and see. It was incredibly useful in my time there! All in all a great experience, I would definitely do it again.
