Well that was totally fantastic and much better than I could have ever imagined. Scott went out of his way to help and accomodate us. His place is well situated on the edge of Santa Monica shopping and a medium distance to the beach. Lots of places to eat nearby and easy access to airport / universal studios / shopping malls (30mins by Uber). Scott is also licensed to run a AirBNB that is a requirement of California Law and not everyone on Air BNB does this. I'm really looking forward to going back to Santa Monica and staying there again.
