My boyfriend and I absolutely LOVED staying at Kourosh & Yalda's wonderful home in Santa Monica!
I'll be honest, the outside of this AirBNB really caught us off guard at first... the exterior and surrounding area looks a little unsafe and not what we were expecting. But fear not! On the inside, it is beautifully decorated and updated, has a cozy "home away from home" feel, and three floors to enjoy! Our favorite amenities included the large third floor patio with comfy patio furniture & a sun chair (perfect for tanning!), the amazing spa-like bathroom with rain-fall shower head and tub, and SmartTV with Netflix, Amazon, YouTube, etc. in the living room. (Side note: I had some trouble with the Netflix connection and texted Yalda for help and she responded within minutes!).
The home is not walking distance to the beach or the Third Street Promenade; however, it is a super fast Uber drive and still in a great location!
The parking garage is a bit challenging to find at first, especially if you're checking in at night! Would be helpful to have some detailed notes on how to find it. (Unless I missed that part!). HUGE PLUS: I loved that our vehicle was safe and secure in a private, enclosed, personal garage with a staircase up to the first floor of the home.
Future AirBNBers: We drive a Ford Fusion and that fit in the space just right. I can't imagine a big truck fitting in the space! Would ask Kourosh & Yalda about your vehicle size prior to booking.
Overall, we had a wonderful week at Kourosh & Yalda's home and highly recommend choosing them when you visit Santa Monica! Thank you again!
