I live nearby and booked this place for my father to stay while he was visiting.
Brian and Karina were fantastic and friendly hosts. They made my father feel very welcome, exhibiting the perfect combination of attention and hands-off. they gave him walking directions to the best croissants in town and insider tips on the best beach spots, but also just left him alone to relax and enjoy the space.
the apartment had everything you could need for a santa monica vacation. comfy bed (my dad said he slept better than he has in ages), great wireless, outdoor table and chairs to enjoy the perfect weather, beach towels, easy access to main street, even a nespresso machine for your morning coffee.
overall a great airbnb. will definitely be booking again next time a family member comes into town! thanks brian and karina!
