I had a wonderful time staying with Leslie. It was my first AirBnB, and I am glad I chose to stay there, for lots of great reasons. Her warm personality made me feel welcome and comfortable, but she was very respectful of my privacy. Her home is clean, uncluttered and attractive. My room and bath were private and clean and the bed was very comfortable. When I asked for local information, Leslie usually gave me multiple ideas and is obviously very knowledgeable about the LA area. She has a very pretty, soft, and affectionate cat, but there was no problem with her going into my room unless I let her. She preferred to stay with Leslie, mostly.

I stayed for 10 days, so I got a good feel for the space and the area. I felt very safe. Her building is in a typical, and convenient, Santa Monica area, and having a private off-street parking space made coming and going a breeze. There is new construction going on next door, but as I was out during the day, I heard very little noise. The room faces away from the construction, also, and except for a few occasions (minutes) I didn't even notice it was happening.

I hope this helps you to choose Leslie's space for your Santa Monica AirBnB. I can't imagine why you wouldn't enjoy it!
