Ryan was a wonderful host. The apartment was great and the location is ideal for enjoying the outdoors. The nearby Santa Monica mountains provided us with great hiking and cycling.
Daily we made the commute to either downtown LA, Santa Monica or Beverly Hills without any trouble. If you're looking for nightlife, there are plenty of options for dining and drinks within a half hour.
In all, I'd highly recommend the location for anyone looking for a quieter stay with proximity to outdoor destinations.
