I had a lovely time at James place.
The house is located very near to Abbot Kinney and the beach.
It's very clean and the space and seems newly renovated in a beachy Southern California vibe.
The house is large and bright and welcoming. The two living room areas are both comfortable and I enjoyed hanging out during the day or in the evening.
It's super easy to get to restaurants and activities.
The bathroom is modest and might be tight for more than two people but everything works well. Same with closet space.
A couple of things to take into consideration:
-The kitchen has very few amenities. There is NO functional oven, there is only one pot and one pan, no toaster, no microwave. No diswasher. ..very few plates and cups, etc... So while the kitchen is large, it's basically not useful.
-The heating is by space heater which thankfully works well in the bedroom but not elsewhere. The ceilings are just too high! If you're visiting in the winter, it's great during the day, but can be quite cold at night.
-The dedicated car park was too small for my midsize rental car. But I found parking on the street without a problem.
