I stayed at Peter's for 3 months in the summer because of an internship and absolutely enjoyed my stay!!
The apartment is very welcoming, clean and comfortable. It is located right next to the beach, for a jog or LA Tan, and very close to 2nd street Belmont Shore, which has some really good small restaurants, bars and shops. Basically everything you need is right around the corner. The area is very safe and close to a nice park with free yoga and farmer's markets every Tuesday.
You'll have your own room, which is very spacious, clean and chic. And there is a cute balcony attached to it from where you can catch a small glimpse of the ocean. You'll live with Tony and Timoko, who are both very respectful, quiet and super nice.
Peter was always checking on me if I needed something and giving me advice on restaurants, coffee shops, shopping, sightseeing, really anything.
He is such a great host and made sure that I was comfortable and having fun, which means that he was always integrating me in his plans with his friends and Tony & Timoko.
Peter and Tony are also very easy to communicate with and they always respond right away if you have any questions.
I highly recommend Peter's place and will definitely come back anytime!!
I really couldn't ask for anything better for my long-stay in California!
