Zahra's home is in a beautiful location in Santa Monica with an amazing garden. We stayed in the guesthouse in the backyard. The guesthouse was very spacious and clean, but it was also getting a bit long in the tooth. The sink in the bathroom had a crack, the windows in the kitchen were sealed und you could see on the ceiling that sometimes it's raining in. The waterpressure in the shower was almost not there and it was a little tough to get rid of the shampoo. The heating was incredibly loud - we had to use it as it was pretty cold at night. Unfortunately this was my first time the experience with an AirBnB host was not so good. There was an incident I won't describe in detail, but Zahra was very impolite. Maybe we could have reacted calmer, but we still think, it wasn't hospitable. I have to admit that she appologized afterwards, but the whole stay left a bad taste.
