Quiet 1bd apt in Marina Del Rey w Free parking
Great area, clean and great amenities.

Garden Oasis by the Sea
This property was our family's favourite in their entire trip to California. The place is exactly what it looks like. It's gorgeous, well-maintained and walking distance from the beach. It has plenty of amenities too. If you plan to cook your own food, you might have to drive a little or door dash your groceries. We really enjoyed our stay!

New modern luxury 1 BR in Santa Monica
We really liked Romans place.. great location.. we walked everywhere.. the shower could have done with a better clean lots of mould in it... I had a crack at it... I'm a clean freak so I guess I'm a bit over the top with my cleanliness... the wind screams up the outside hallway so it's sounds like someone is talking to you... when they're not Lol... not a concern just so others know they aren't going crazy!! Could do with better blinds in the bedroom it's so bright in there in the morning... overall we liked it here alot! Loved that there was a washer and dryer and a car space... the instructions to get in and where to park were the best instructions we have ever received... thanks for having us Roman! :-)

Charming Two Bd Sunny Santa Monica
What a lovely place to stay while in Santa Monica. Not super close to the beach but a quick uber or bike ride will get you there in no time. The apartment is quiet and close to the medical centre, and we felt very safe. We would definitely stay again.

Chic 1-bedroom with private yard and free parking.
This was the third stay at Clarissa's place for my husband and me. The location works well for us as it's near our son and his family. We also appreciate that we can bring our dog along. As always, the unit was clean and everything was as described.

Cozy, Luxurious, Oasis Parking
Neal's apartment felt like a second home from the moment my son and I walked in! This welcoming one-bedroom is filled with beautiful plants (as a huge Pothos fan, I was in heaven!), and you can tell Neal has put thoughtful details into every corner of his humble and pristine space. The location is fantastic - quiet, safe neighborhood that felt perfect for a mother-son getaway. Everything was spotlessly clean and Neal was an excellent host, making sure we checked in safely and had everything we needed. My only tiny suggestion would be adding a few more spices to the kitchen - a little garlic salt, Adobo, or paprika never hurt anybody! ๐ But honestly, that's being picky because everything else was perfect. Fun coincidence: Back in 2017 when I worked in pharma, one of my clients was Kite, whose HQ is right around the way from Neal's place. Small world! We absolutely loved our stay and would definitely return. Thank you for sharing your beautiful space with us, Neal!

Chic Marina del Rey Stay | Jacuzzi, Pool, and More
Had a comfortable stay at Alisaโs place and would stay here again. Alisa was a responsive host and even had trash bags dropped off when I needed more. The gated parking is a plus. Thereโs a nice shopping center across the street with all you could need. One thing to note is that the unit faces a gas station and a big intersection so it can get noisy during the day from the road noise.

Stylish Beach Studio
THE most perfect place in Manhattan Beach! I am looking forward to booking again, thank you so much!

Stylish 1bd apartment near Beverly Hills.
If youโre visiting the LA area this is the perfect location. Everything is 10-20 minutes within distance. Santa Monica was 35 minutes! My stay was great. It was very clean and I loved the decor. They are also 420 friendly. The only downfall in my opinion is the bed. It was not comfortable for me at all. We had issues with the key fob for the parking gate to open/close but the host responded quickly and brought another and made it right. The area is clean and peaceful. I recommend this stay! Youโll enjoy ๐

Ocean View Suite in Downtown SM
This was a perfect place right across the beach, an easy walk near a bunch of great food places! Chris was very nice and welcoming. If I am ever in Santa Monica again this would be my first option!

Bright 2 Bed/2 Bath w/Views Walk to the Beach DTSM
Johnโs place is exactly as described. It was spotless and well equipped providing international travellers like us with everything we needed. The space was perfect and outlook very pleasant. The car parking was fantastic to have and easy to access. A safe and friendly neighbourhood, close to the ocean and pier with lots of great restaurants and shops within walking distance. Thanks John for having us at such short notice, you made the end of our trip stress free and memorable. Thanks again!

Stylish Santa Monica Studio + Parking Included!
Truly such an amazing Airbnb along with great customer care experience from host. Laura was super kind enough to let me check in earlier than the listing had stated so I could prepare for an upcoming graduation. The environment is perfect for two people - furniture was super comfortable, bed was clean, comfortable sheets, and the rest of the house was just in pristine condition. Throughout the trip, Laura made sure to check in on me to see if anything else was needed which says a lot! She truly cares about her customers and their time spent while visiting. Thank you again so much for hosting me! I look forward to booking again when I visit Los Angeles. 1000/10 recommend this Airbnb to anyone! This deserves to be a super super host ;)

Steps to the Beach - 2BR Family Friendly Townhouse
Nadia was super communicative and helpful! The space was perfect for us as a hub for my husband and I and our two little ones. Would definitely book again when we visit the area!

Malibu, Carbon Beach - Studio Suite Four
Very responsive, very clean, and fun places to stay; definitely gonna return.

3BR Playa del Rey Beach Bliss
Excellent location and place. Jordan was very responsive. Would definitely recommend.

* Breathtaking Place In Santa Monica's Heart *
A stay at this location should be the standard for all airbnbs! Absolutely wonderful location and decor, it was easy to feel right at home the moment we walked through the door. I felt extremely safe and the walkability in downtown Santa Monica canโt be beat. Joe was incredibly responsive to any questions I had and the checkout was standard to a hotel. Other airbnbโs could take a lesson in the friendly demeanor, clean facility, clear instructions and stress free checkout. Highly recommend!

Newly Listed!Cozy Studio w/patio โ Walk to Beach
The room was just like the pictures. I felt save indoors . However Venice had alot of traffic and homelessness. Yet, the host was generous enough to let us check in early. The only complaint that I had was I booked for three people and there wasnโt enough towels , wash cloths or blankets to accommodate my third guest. So my husband slept on the sofa with the blanket we used in on the airplaneโฆ.

Lovely Studio in Heart of DT Santa Monica Pets Ok
We had a great stay. The location is pretty quiet, safe, and super walkable. The essentials were provided and we were able to make a meal with provisions picked up at the farmers market. Would recommend Gabriel's place for those looking to have a walkable stay in Santa Monica. The vibes could be elevated with an upgrade to bedding, towels, and cleaner products, but no complaints!

New ! Casa Luna ! luxury coastal condo
We loved our place, it was spotless clean and fresh. We had everything we need. Thank you

Cozy Aprt Close To The Beach
Sokal was great to work with and responded quickly to questions. The house was in a great location and well equipped. We recommend it!

Relaxing 1BR Getaway | Pool, Jacuzzi, Gym, Parking
Loved staying here! It was very clean and comfortable, well cared for and beautiful furnishings. The bed was comfy and the pillows and linen were fresh and clean, the outdoor area including a pool and gym is amazing. It has a whashing machine and dryer and a well equipped kitchen to prepare meals. I highly recommend and would stay again. The host is very nice and quick to respond. Thank you Mark we loved our stay๐

Luxury Safari Stay-Queen Bed
The Airbnb was amazing!! Great location, very clean, and safe! We enjoyed our stay as it was close to a lot of attractions in Santa Monica. 5 stars!!

Modern Hollywood Resort | 1 BD - Parking Included
Maggie was an exceptional host. Any thing that we needed or if anything happened she was one phone call away. The location was awesome and perfectly described. We loved our entire experience and we would most definitely stay at this location again.

Exquisite 1BR w/Bath- 1 mile away from Culver City
Exactly as advertised with a great host to match! Akaisha was super responsive if we had questions - one night we came back and couldnโt find any street parking and the hosts were able to figure something out for us. Would be great if there was built in parking for this unit as thereโs a good amount of room on the property, but we knew it was street parking when booking. Not a lot of noise from Venice Blvd or the 10! Decent neighborhood, easy to get to main street walking. The unit itself was really great, though donโt bank on using the couch to sleep, itโs not very comfortable. Itโs a tried and true one bedroom with one bed.
