This was my first time using airbnb and I must have beginner's luck because this apartment is SUCH a gem. It is actually more spacious and BRIGHTER than it looks in the photos. I honestly can't find any critiques to try to make this seem unbiased because I really had a wonderful stay. The neighborhood is safe and quiet, one block off of Santa Monica and very close to several Starbucks and a Whole Foods. The bedroom is in the back so it's even more quiet with lots of storage and bright sunny windows and great blinds. I stayed for 2 months and found Lily to be an incredibly accommodating host. I had to travel with my small dog and she worked out a Pet Deposit situation for us and was happy to give her a little head-scratch whenever we saw one another...which wasn't that often. The unit is very private so there's never any awkward exchanges. The kitchen was well equipped for my needs and the bathroom has a tub! The selling point for me was the sunroom off the living room. Fully windowed on all 3 exterior walls - feels like being in a screened-in porch, but on the second floor so you're level with trees so it feels private. Truly loved this place. Lily also worked out a laundry service for me. So kind. Also, parking spot included!!!! Rent this place!
