I stayed at John's place during 2 nights and he was one of the best Airbnb host I ever met.

Very welcoming, he respects privacy but also shows you everything you can do in his apartment and gives some good tips to visit the city. I also enjoyed a lot our conversation during one of the evening around a drink.

The room was as described on the website, a lot of space, a wardrobe, TV, Internet, bathroom, everything you need for a nice rest in Santa Monica.

The apartment has a backyard garden and a perfect location, a few blocks from the beach which made my stay even more pleasant.

I would strongly recommend John if you want a comfortable, quiet place to the beach.
