This is the place to stay! I concur with all the rave reviews, and the photos you see are 100% accurate. It’s clean, sunny, quiet…a little oasis in the middle of Santa Monica. What you don’t see is the enchanting pathway leading from the gate in the front to the guest suite in the back lined with bamboo trees, orchid plants, and potted flowers. Oh, speaking of flowers, the suite was filled with fresh-cut flowers and orchids, and they changed the floral arrangements half-way through my 12-night stay. Beautiful touch! This was my first time staying in an Airbnb and I had my safety concerns as as female solo-traveler. But I trusted the reviews and photos, said a prayer, and booked Martha’s place. Her responsive and friendly communicative style put me at ease, so by the time I arrived, I felt safe and comfortable. Martha lives on the property, so I never felt alone. There’s a wonderful co-op supermarket a few blocks away (tons of food for vegans) and several farmers markets in and around Santa Monica all through the week. Your search is done…book this place!
