Vanessa's spot was just what me and my girlfriends were looking for - really close to the beach, shopping on Abbot Kinney, markets for quick grocery runs, and good restaurants. The home is cozy but because of the great outdoor spaces it never felt too small. The spiral stair case to the third bedroom is a bit tight when carrying suitcases but otherwise fine. Didn't realize it was a duplex, so we could hear the neighbors upstairs but wasn't too much of a distraction, just note that you can hear walking, other toilets flushing, etc. The house was pretty well-stocked with utensils, linens, etc and we felt we had everything we needed. Thanks Vanessa!
