We traveled to California for the first time for our daughters beach volleyball tournament in Santa Monica. Martens place was absolutely amazing and accommodated our group of 8 perfectly! Culver City was beautiful and the location of the property was absolutely perfect, quite and very safe! Santa Monica beach was a short 10-12 minute drive depending on traffic. LAX was a short 20 min drive. We were worried about traffic being from small town MN and had no problems traveling to the beach and pier every day of our trip and to and from the airport. The house was EXTREMELY clean, well stocked and the patio outside was our favorite place to hangout. We had 3 teenagers in our group and they also loved the property! We have stayed at other air bnb places before with great experience but this place definitely topped and exceeded our expectations and experience with air bnb. Marten and his family were excellent hosts and we can not wait to come back to Cali again and stay at his place. Highly recommend!!
