Kevin and Birgit were amazing hosts and so down to earth! My partner and I came from Canada to Santa Monica for our vacation and we are so thankful we picked this listing. The hosts gave us such good recommendations for anything you could think of close by and sights to see. They also had the sweetest welcome package waiting for us on the table when we arrived. The listing is very close to the beach, about a 20min walk, but you could also rent a bike from Montana Ave or drive. Montana Ave is a block away and has all the essentials; groceries, cafes, restaurants, etc. We will definitely be back to LA in the future and booking Kevin and Birgit’s again. You cannot go wrong with such awesome hosts, location, and listing!!
