Jim is a great host! He was very responsive on text and messages and made sure our arrival was smooth and effortless. The location of his place is great! Right by the Marina and a short walk to Venice Beach and Abbot Kinney strip. Jim was also very helpful with suggestions on where to go and making sure we had a great stay! The apartment was roomy, clean and comfortable. The pool and amenities within the complex are a bonus to have even though we didn't spend much time there - too busy sightseeing and going to the beach! We forgot our hat at his place and he was super accommodating to help get our hat back to us. I would definitely stay at Jim's again if/when we go back to LA and would recommend others to stay as well.
