I spent Memorial weekend at Josie and Paul's place, and it was the perfect escape from San Francisco. The apartment is walking distance to the beach as well as shops and restaurants on Abbott Kinney. It's not far from Santa Monica as well, a quick drive or a nice longer walk along the beach. There is something truly magical about their place, I was so comfortable and happy to hang out reading on the porch or just relaxing when I wasn't wandering around the area. The canals are so peaceful, walking through them is like a little escape. Josie and Paul were so kind and accommodating, they allowed me an early check in and were always available for any questions, always very quick to respond. I definitely recommend Josie and Paul's place to anyone that is in need of relaxation!
