Karina and Ryan are exactly the kind of hosts that give Airbnb a good name. From the moment we arrived they received us in a friendly and warm manner. I could use all sorts of superlatives to get my point across, but suffice it to say that everything they describe as hosts is spot on. The room, bed, ect., is very comfortable and lovely. It is quiet, and in a nice old neighborhood in a good location within easy driving access to the beach and the lively area of Santa Monica, We really felt how respectful both Karina and Ryan are as hosts - being engaging and fun as was welcomed by us but also very respectful of our privacy. We felt like they are both people we wish we had as neighbors. They are interesting, fun, and engaging. Their home is lovely, a good reflection of who they are! Thanks, Karina and Ryan. Please let us know if you ever come to the Bay Area. We'd be happy to hear from you!
