This was my first Airbnb experience and it was just what I had hoped for. Liz's Santa Monica apartment was just like the pictures - beachy decor, clean and my bedroom was private and with a bathroom. I felt safe and I even had a parking space for my rented car. I would highly recommend Liz's place and especially if you are a woman traveling alone - great neighborhood and Liz is a warm, lovely host and her dogs are quiet and adorable.
