I had a great time staying at Chris'. He's a really friendly and chilled guy. The apartment is in a perfect place for enjoying venice and Santa Monica.
If you're staying on the air bed then it's important to know you'll be sleeping in the living room likely alongside another person staying on the sofa. Don't expect any privacy. However the bedrooms are great for privacy.
This didn't bother me, and I enjoyed my stay a lot. Would definitely recommend.
