I have been waiting to write this review! My two kids, 5- and 7-yr-olds, and I stayed in Soon’s bungalow for a little over a month and it was by far the best Airbnb experience for us. My husband and I have stayed in several other Airbnb places just in West L. A. and Santa Monica in the past but never came across a property that met all our needs like Soon’s place did.
First off, it is not easy to find a place that has washer/ dryer in unit at this rate in Santa Monica. The bungalow was quite compact yet FULLY equipped. I always travel with my kitchen stuff with me since I cook a lot for my kids. During our stay in Soon’s place his kitchen had no problem functioning in full, I did not have to unpack any of my kitchen stuff for the first time.
The place was so clean and well planned. All the furniture was clean and well maintained with extra bedding, lighting, and necessities that the host had placed for his guests. The pull-out couch was surprisingly firm, so I was able to sleep on it comfortably over a month.
Best part of Soon’s bungalow was surely the front yard! We had such a fun, pleasant time eating and playing there. It gets pretty quiet and peaceful during the day. I had my daily retreat time out there with a cup of coffee and a book to read.
I already miss Soon and Esther’s place and the great memory we had during our stay there. I have never met Airbnb hosts like Soon and Esther who just genuinely cared about their guests and offered the best accommodation they could. I highly recommend all of their three bungalows. Thank you so much for your exceptional service, Soon and Esther!
