Adam's place was great! We loved the back yard--the murals, basketball hoop, and hot tub were highlights--and we utilized the bikes, which was a convenient and welcomed extra amenity. The area is residential, quiet, and friendly with a real neighborhood vibe. That said, restaurants, bars, shopping, and anything else you could want (including the marina) is within a few blocks--truly the best of both worlds. We hopped to and from visits to Redondo Beach, Venice, Santa Monica, and beyond super easily and efficiently. Adam greeted us personally and was readily available if we had any questions or needed anything, though we didn't see him much as we were quite busy! If we're ever in the area, we will definitely take advantage of this quirky, funky, laid-back, bohemian little guest nook again!
