Calvin was a really good host. We had some good talks and I enjoyed my stay in SM. He had no problem with me coming in late after a flight and his communication was good. The room is nice and big, comfortable bed, and big desk was nice. Like others have said, the bathroom is unfinished, but it wasn't a problem and it's nice that it's your own, inside the room. The only thing I didn't like about the room is that it gets kind of hot. For most times during the year in Santa Monica, that's not a problem, and it wasn't horrible for me, but it would have been more comfortable with A/C during that specific "heat wave" of sorts. The rest of the house is definitely cluttered but not dirty or messy. There's just a bunch of stuff everywhere. I only stayed three nights so it didn't bother me at all. Just keep in mind, the living room isn't exactly a hang out spot as it's designed in a pretty awkward way - I told this to Calvin. Someone else said the washer/dryer didn't work - but it worked great for me, no problems. All in all, a good stay and a 5-star value. Thanks Calvin!
