We had two wonderful weeks in Art's condo, used it as a perfect base to see the close beaches of Redondo, Manhattan, Venice, Santa Monica, and Malibu. Returning to the house at night was like coming home, and we enjoyed a cool down at the pool and in the hot tub.
The kitchen was perfectly equipped to prepare breakfast and meals, easy to use and clean.
Despite being quite close to the interstate, the whole area was quiet, even sitting outside I could not hear any car noise at all. With being at the interstate in one minute though, and located south of L.A. downtown, we could beat the traffic most of the times - an extremely helpful base!
Food4Less is close, in walking distance, and has everything we needed, for a fair price.
All in all, we found all we were looking for, and I would recommend Art's condo to any friends visiting SoCal.
