Maggie and Juan are very nice hosts. We had a designated parking space and could use the kitchen. The bed was comfortable and the private bathroom was really convinient. As the room has no aircon it gets a little bit warm with thick air. The only windows of the bed are directly to the yard so anybody can see in. For more privacy you can simply close the curtains.
Santa monica is 40 min by Bus and walk of fame approx 60 mins by Bus. Groceries and several Restaurants are nearby which made the stay even more enjoyable.
