I visited the Santa Monica area for a couple days this weekend. Paul was welcoming, nice, kept a clean and comfortable home. He was approachable, answered all my questions and even let me use his printer. I spent most of my time out and about but when coming back at night the home was quiet, bed was very comfortable. If you have no problem with shared spaces, this is your place. The uber ride to Venice beach was only about 2 miles, I also walked there which took 45 mins if you don’t mind walking. LAX was also very close. Highly recommend, thanks Paul!
