This place is nearly but not quite good. it is in a good location, it is clean and quiet (but do expect road noise), and it is very well set up for two couples to use to visit Santa Monica together with two well-separated good sized rooms and bathrooms. For us there were three disappointments which in the end meant we had to cut our stay short. number one was the beds and especially the king which is a very think slice of memory foam, the kind you sink well down into before being supported. Some may like that, but it didn't work for us and my wife tweaked her back and we had to leave. As a small note for improvement, a little more could have been spent on cotton sheets and bedding; the poly cotton wasn't great. Second was the very strong smell of Febreeze when we arrived which was overpowering. It may have been because the previous guests smoked or made some other bad smell, but it was too much. Third is the way the kitchen is equipped. It isn't strictly mis-described ( I believe the blurb says they provide the basics), but when we visited there was no oil, coffee or tea, simple spices or sugar. Most Airbnb's we've stayed in do at least that. The hosts were responsive when we complained (for example they offered an air mattress alternative to the large sponge), but the over-riding effect is cheaper than it should be for the price. Stay for convenience and proximity to downtown and the beach (and if you do stay you MUST eat at Tar and Roses). Don't stay if you want to cook for yourself or want a luxurious feel.
