Staying at Judy's apartment was for us perfect! This is my first time using Airbnb so I was not sure what to expect. Judy made the process simple with clear and swift communication and you could tell right from the 'get go' that she is a warm and friendly host wanting to make sure you have an enjoyable stay. Judy's place is spotlessly clean, peaceful with parking right outside your front door. On arrival she provided us with a good overview, giving us great tips and advice on local places to visit, as well as information on eateries and supermarkets. Judy was very thoughtful and provided a welcome basket filled with fruit, yogurts, cereal bars and her fabulous homemade brownies! For us having a larger space with kitchen facilities made all the difference from a hotel. My mother and I were out all day and knowing there were restaurants on our doorstep or great 'take away' options to eat back at Judy's was a god send - providing a more relaxing 'home from home' experience. The location is wonderful - a safe, beautiful tree lined family neighbourhood minutes from Venice beach, Marina del Rey, Santa Monica and Malibu yet only a couple of miles from major highways making a trip across town easy. For my mother and I we could not of asked for more and would love to stay again as we feel we've found a little gem within LA!
