If I could give this Airbnb a 6-star rating, I would! Shelley's place was even better than I expected. While the pictures were beautiful, they don't show how much artistic warmth is in every detail in this cottage, or how beautiful the patio, garden, pond, and the neighborhood is. The interior is spacious and bright with lots of drawers, a big closet, Cal king bed, large desk area, kitchenette with microwave, coffee maker, fridge and toaster oven. The shower has an extra-large rain shower head with fabulously strong water pressure.
Shelley is a gracious host who had descriptions of local attractions all typed out for reference. I loved that she texted me on the second day of my seven-day stay to see if there was anything she could do to make my stay any better. As a single woman, I felt very safe and relaxed at the cottage and walking to my workshop, the beach, restaurants, and Whole Foods. I can't imagine staying anywhere else if I am traveling to Santa Monica!
