Heidi's bungalow was perfect for our needs--both in terms of its amenities, the availability of extras such as bikes and boogie boards, and its location. My family and I enjoyed close access to the beach and Venice's famous boardwalk "scene", but not so near that the tourist crowds or the street people were any kind of an annoyance. Additionally, the most of the sights of central LA were within 15 miles. The bungalow's immediate neighborhood was surprisingly quiet given the housing mix of single-family homes, 2 and 3-plexes and small apartment complexes.
Our lodging came complete with a very comfortable full bed, an inflatable mattress, and a sleeping couch big enough for 2. It also had sufficient household goods for our family of 5 to make due in style.
Thank you very much for letting us stay, Heidi!
