The hosts were always available and communicative to provide recommendations or answer any questions. I stayed for over a month and had an opportunity to explore the neighborhood and found this airbnb to be located in an ideal location. You are close to the restaurants on Montana and within walking distance of Whole Foods/Trader Joe's on Wilshire. You have the privacy of being on a quiet street in a mostly residential area, but still everything you need very conveniently located nearby. The AirBnb itself has a comfortable bed, washer/dryer which is especially useful for longer stays, and a kitchen stocked with all of the essentials. The wifi is reliable, though not excellent. There is an A/C unit in the bedroom, and heat throughout the house - though in Santa Monica you'll rarely need either. Overall I had a very nice stay
