John's place was exactly as advertised and exactly what I was looking for. The room was actually a bit larger than it appears in the photos.

John was always available if I needed anything. The bathroom was advertised as shared, but somehow it was always available every time I needed it. It was also clean and well stocked, as was the bedroom.

I've been an AirBnB host for three years, but this was my first experience as an AirBnB guest. I chose John's place because it is an easy walk to my daughter's apartment and I will certainly contact him next time I go to Santa Monica for a visit.
