I stayed at Beth’s place for two nights and was quite happy. It is about a 25-35 minute walk to the beach but really easily accessible via Uber/Lyft (quite cheap to get to main Santa Monica).
My only major complaint with the place was it hit the mark on cleanliness, especially in comparison to other air bnbs I’ve stayed at. The white sheets had black raised marks and brown smudges and the furniture was a bit stained. The bathroom was mostly clean but the shower area had some old rusty brushes that could have been removed. The mini fridge could have been cleaner (had a smell) and was off (perhaps to conserve energy) but was inconvenient since I didn’t know that and came back with food I needed to refrigerate, which I ended up having to chuck.
At my time of booking Beth had advertised a flexible check out policy but in reality this was not true and needed me out by 11am. Even though this was a disappointment, she was kind enough to offer to let me stay in the courtyard for a couple of hours or to keep my luggage while I killed time before my flight so it turned out okay. I don’t think this was a major issue but wanted to write it here in case any of you were banking on a later check out time.
In general, Beth is really nice and took out time to talk to me and give me local suggestions. It felt like you were talking to old friends, she’s very friendly! The place itself is not too far from main Santa Monica and you do get two whole rooms and a bathroom to yourself. I would consider staying here again on my next trip!
