Clean, updated, and good location but no AC
Overall we had a good stay and the unit was clean and up to date with all supplies needed in the kitchen. Even k cups and sugar were there for coffee. Right across the street is a little park which my son enjoyed. It was close to the highway and downtown Santa Monica so it was an easy drive anywhere we went. Parking on the street was not an issue as long as you read the signs and park on the opposite side at night. I had a question for the owner and they replied promptly. The couches were comfortable. The bed was comfortable but the frame was not sturdy so if you sleep with someone, every move makes a noise and moves the bed. It was unseasonably warm while we were there and there was no AC, which I believe should be made more apparent in the listing. The unit got up to over 90 degrees and we only had 2 portable fan units to keep us cool. I think it would have been unbearable for most people but we’re from Florida and regularly camp so we made do. Also the listing indicates that a sleeper sofa/futon was available but there was only an air mattress. As a result, my husband had to sleep on the couch the first night because my son had already gone to sleep on the bed by the time we figured that out and the couch was more comfortable than the air mattress for my husband. Overall it was a nice place for the price.
