A great place to stay! This area is super calm, safe, and aesthetically pleasing. The house has everything you might need, the bed is comfortable and the bathroom and kitchen are clean. The drive to Hollywood/the 405 can get very long very easily. If you're happy to stay in the Santa Monica area this spot is the best in town. The Brentwood country mart is close by to grab coffee, Abbot Kinney blvd is 10 min away, there's a famous donut shop right down the street and great Italian food as well.
Mario is a fantastic host. He loves to chat with his guests and is a great conversationalist. He would ask me what I had done each day and while I was mostly happy to share it may not be everyone's cup of tea for a secluded stay. If you want someone who is very attentive, reachable, and always ready to offer suggestions this is the airbnb to book.
Overall a very helpful host and a very happy stay.
Also he has a lovely dog. :)
