Great value for what you get. It is a large apartment (750 ft2?) that has been recently redone. Josh is an excellent host. When he saw that I was working from home, he brought me an office chair. He printed out a whole role of parking passes for us. He also installed a window unit AC as soon as the temps started to climb. He and his brother helped us unload the car...in short, couldn't be nicer and more helpful. The apartment is located in a complex of 3 houses on a large lot. The family lives in the front and back houses. The apartment is downstairs in the center house. Since we had our dog with us, that was super convenient for us. There isn't really any outdoor sitting area to speak of, which would be a nice upgrade to the apartment...maybe something in the future? It's a great location, close to the 405 and a straight shot down Santa Monica to the beach.
