The best point for booking this apartment was the location to the beach. Just a short 5 block walk down the street - which had numerous restaurants and coffee houses, and you're at the Venice Beach Pier. Ceren was very helpful and a friendly Host. She returned calls with our concerns and questions and took time to show us around when we arrived . Check in and out was easy and we were glad for the off street parking included as well as the safeness of the neighborhood. The apartment was dated and not as clean as others we've rented but spacious with the 2 bedrooms and baths. The kitchen was best equipped for carry out. We were not made aware that the apartment complex did not allow AirBnB's and discovered this sign posted at the main office after we received a notice to inspect the apartment for abandonment posted on our door the first day. Ceren assured us they had an agreement with the management which had recently changed and allowed for our stay. That satisfied our concern and we went on to have a great vacation at this apartment.
