Ellen is such a wonderful host! She makes her AirBnb house a lovely and cozy place to stay. The room was spotless clean. The bed was so comfortable. We enjoy hot coffee every morning and the welcome snacks Ellen prepared for us. She even brought two big beach towels when she knew that we didn't prepare (they were fresh & warm, right out of the dryer!). The neighborhood is safe and quiet. We enjoyed walking to the local stores or taking Ubers to the beach or downtown Santa Monica (the costs are about 6-15 dollars in Santa Monica area). Overall, great place and amazing hospitality!
