Maud was an exceptional host, very responsive. The apt was exactly as described, she provides two bikes which is fantastic to move around Santa Monica and Venice beach. A bottle of wine and almond at your arrival. The apt was clean and the bed comfortable. Everything works well but the bathroom could use an update. Wifi is super powerful. I would definitely come back, the location is perfect, close to Main street full of nice shops, bars, restaurants and public transportation to downtown LA. Most importantly, it is not far from the ocean. It's a lovely place for a runner.
