John's place is a really piece of heaven between Santa Monica and Venice beach . The apartment is beautiful (much more beautiful than in the pictures) I loved the great living room the kitchen and the lovely bedroom with a nice ocean view ! The location was perfect because the neighborhood was very safe and quiet and all around it I had everything I needed for having fun . On Main Street (10min walking from the apt) I had pubs, restaurants and clubs and I was right in the middle between Santa Monica pear and Venice beach so I could reach the most beautiful areas very easily . I Am addicted to fitness and what I really loved about this place was that was close to my favorite box of Crossfit and close to golds gym (the Mecca of bodybuilding ) . John is a really special host, he is very sociable and funny and he made me feel at home from the first moment that I arrived in Santa Monica . Can't recommend enough this place !!!
