We stayed at John’s place with our two kids over the Thanksgiving break and loved it! It’s very close to the pier and the beach although at least with the kids we had to take the car over. The building is quiet and we felt right at home! John was super responsive to any question we had (not many as his instructions were crystal clear). The garage was a great feature - especially when going around with little kids. Would definitely stay again next time we’re in LA! Thank you :)
