A lovely place at a great location. Walking distance to restaurants and grocery stores at Montana Blvd. Close to the the beach where you can enjoy the view or sunset. The neighborhood is quiet and clean. It feels safer than downtown Santa Monica. Loved the big vanity and SmartTV. Great lighting in the entire place throughout the day so we were able to soak in every bit of the SoCal vibes.
The host has been very good at communicating and meeting our needs. When we first checked in, there was some issue with the wifi provider and she made the call immediately to help us resolve the issue. She also sent someone to help us get the heater started as it has not been used by previous guests and had issues. She also gave us a vaccum cleaner upon our request. This was a new airbnb apparently but glad we could overcome the initial bumps quickly.
A few downside: despite the newly remodeled kitchen, the other amenties in the place are a bit old. The floor can make a squeeky sound sometimes except the kitchen floor. We won't be able to use the microwave and the dishwasher or toaster at the same time since the outlet was quite old. The tables and desks are a bit too small for work.
