We really enjoyed our stay at Shawn's place! It feels like a brand-new apartment; it's very clean and comfortable with a spacious layout and a big balcony. The location is excellent and you're walking distance to the beach and lots of great bars and restaurants (Shawn provided an awesome list of recommendations which was really helpful!). We had some trouble with the wifi (Shawn did his best to help troubleshoot which we appreciated), so if you need a strong, high-speed connection for business travel etc., I would double-check on this with the host before booking. Overall we really enjoyed our stay and would look at staying here again next time we're in Santa Monica. Thanks Shawn!
