Max is a great host - laid back, friendly and accommodating. Bedroom is exactly as pictured and he has beautiful plants just about everywhere, indoors and out! I love this location, with easy access to grocery stores, restaurants, public transport and most importantly, the beach! You can get by just fine without a car. This place is a lovely oasis; amazingly quiet and a feeling of safety I didn't think I could get in LA. Bonus, you get kitty cuddles with Max's super sweet cats!
