I enjoyed staying at Mary's place. The reason we stayed in this area is because my daughter lives right around the corner. The apartment was clean and laid out nicely. I was able to cook Christmas dinner because the kitchen was stocked with cooking utensils, etc. Loved having a parking space off the road, which was very important to me. The neighborhood was quiet and pleasant. My sister in law smokes and it was nice she could head out the back door to a very private back yard, pretty spacious. My daughter works near Venice Beach and within 15 minutes we were there to visit. We had come during a cold spell, jacket weather and the heater in the apartment worked great. I really liked the place and would definitely stay there again, which I may, considering my daughter lives right around the corner.
