Liz was a great hostess who made me feel welcome the minute I arrived at her home. She greeted me outside when I arrived with a smile on her face and a joyful attitude while directing me to the free parking included with the stay. Free parking in Santa Monica is a huge bonus!

The shared space was clean, beautifully decorated, warm and cozy. The private room included an en-suite bathroom, so as a guest, you have total privacy during your stay.

Liz walked me through the room and bathroom, offered me a beverage, suggested places to eat for dinner and then helped me get a Lyft to restaurants near the pier.

The room is beautifully appointed, very airy, clean and comfortable. It's peaceful and serene.

The location is walking distance to the 3rd street mall, ocean ave and all of the Santa Monica nightlife. Whole Foods is also right down the street if you decide to just grab some snacks and go to bed.

Liz was extremely kind from the moment I walked into the door until the moment I left. I would definitely recommend her private room/space if you're a woman traveling alone. The area is safe and secure. Plus, she has two great dogs you get to meet while there!

Thanks to Liz for making my first Airbnb experience a great one!
