Akik's place was amazing! The location could not have been better and she could not have been a better host. She was extremely sweet and helpful and provided information about Santa Monica. She also has the cutest dog, ChaCha, that is very well behaved. The location is in a very nice, residential neighborhood that was very safe. We were just a short drive away from the Pier and tons of great restaurants and fun. Our room was very clean, modern, and had lots of natural lighting. Could not have asked for a better BnB experience and I would recommend her place to anyone. My only complaint is that we only stayed one night.
