Todd's place was great! I had to come down for the week for a company summit, and my wife joined me during the trip. Todd's place is at the back of his family's main home--but honestly, it felt so secluded that you would never know anything was around. Everything was new (recently built) in the unit that was big and airy. The couch was comfortable, the kitchen and bathroom had all of the necessities, and the outdoor space (both the balcony in the back and the sitting area near the pool) were gorgeous. While I was away during the day, my wife was able to work from the bright, clean, and well-appointed apartment all day. That being said, you're so close to many of the important spots (grocery stores, restaurants, Venice, Santa Monica, etc.), but tucked away in a quiet residential neighborhood--it was perfect and CLEAN! Additionally, Todd was responsive and even allowed for us to stay over a bit longer when my work meeting ran long. We're looking forward to coming back to stay when we're in the area again!
