A really cute and comfortable house. I was a little nervous about the location, because it is so close to the airport, but it is a very nice a quiet neighborhood. The checkin and checkout process was very easy, house is clean, you have everything you need.
There is a nice supermarket about 3 min walk with a good selection of prepared foods, if you want to get takeout from there and eat at home. If you want to cook yourself, the house has everything you need to cook a meal.
You do hear the planes a bit, but it did not bother us much.
The bedroom with two twin beds was perfect for our kids. There are lots of games and toys for kids in the closet, they loved that.
There are some guides for local attractions in the house, plus Helene has some recommendation for local restaurants and things to do in her house binder, do check those out.
There are lots of beach towels at the house if you want to go to the beach. Santa Monica pier is about 30 min drive, mostly due to the horrendous traffic in LA. Be prepared that driving 5 miles can take 20 minutes or more. You will really appreciate how close this house is to the airport if you are flying in our out of LA.
We drove to Malibu Zuma beach for a bit nicer and less crowded beach and it was worth it.
