The hospitality that Jamil and Muna brings to your stay is what Airbnb had originally launched for. Do not expect a hotel experience here, as you will be staying with the family and they will treat you as family. Very reminiscent of my European stays and as I was traveling alone totally appreciated.
I was spoiled with so much homemade food, fruits for breakfast and on the rare occasion I did slow down to join them for dinner I learned so much about their wonderful life stories.
You get your own room as well as private bathroom. Wifi was good, street parking is easy and Jamil will give you a permit to hang on car. There is a laundry unit downstairs that only accepts quarters.
Location wise this is the absolute best. Groceries, shopping, and the beach all within a couple blocks walk from their place. There are plenty of scooters and bikes available for rent if you wish to travel further.
I’d advise no more than 2 people staying at a time, and to bring ear plugs in case you are a light sleeper. (Santa Monica is not known to be a quiet town)
