When we arrived the host came out to meet us; she showed us the whole apartment and amenities, how the central heat and air worked, she was very relaxed, warm and welcoming. The place itself was impeccable, all the fittings and furnishings were high end, restoration hardware etc. The apartment felt larger and more impressive even than the photos had suggested, yet had a homely feel. The beds were comfortable, the two bathrooms were clean, spacious and airy. Neighborhood was quiet, altho conveniently a block from Santa Monica Blvd and its stores and restaurants. There was fresh fruit and drinks in the fridge, and a new Keurig 2.0 coffee maker, all a welcome surprise. Also, when we were leaving, we were able to store our bags with the host for a couple of hours after we checked out; she really went above and beyond to make our stay pleasant and memorable. I would love to stay here again.
