At first I was skeptical because of the last review of the space, but this space is a GEM. I've stayed with this host before at a different property and I trust him that he represents stuff correctly. Sounds like the last person negotiated something with the host prior to accepting the reservation and they had buyer's remorse....This space is clean, has plenty of light, and you CAN'T BEAT the location. This stretch of Santa Monica Blvd has crazy amounts of shops and awesome restaurants, and sunset blvd is just up the street (though up a steep hill) There are real cool touches throughout and the bedding is top rate (mattress + sheets / blankets etc). One big thing... this space having a parking spot inside the garage is huge because street parking is difficult in this dense neighborhood. After driving for hours on my roadtrip it was appreciated. Definitely recommend.
