Rory and Virag are very nice, friendly and welcoming people. They gave us useful advice for visiting the best places nearby, and one evening we even went out to a bar, had a great chat and played the pool game. At the same time our privacy was well respected, but if we wanted to know something more we felt free to ask anything at anytime.
The apartment was great, everything was as expected and even more, Rory gave us two bikes to get around more quickly. They also have a beautiful and peaceful cat.
This place is great, it is not far from the ocean, has several different bars, cafes and shops in a walkable distance. It's just weird that there aren't a lot of people on the streets, everybody uses cars to get around, so we would suggest considering this option. As Rory's wife Virag said, "in LA, if you don't have a car, you don't have legs" :)

Overall we had a fantastic time in LA, and we would stay here if we ever visited LA again. We highly recommend this place!
Thanks Rory and Virag for the nice holidays!! :)
