This house is amazing. I loved everything about it and would stay there again. The backyard is quiet and well landscaped and just fun to hangout in. The kitchen is right off the backyard and has everything you need to make meals at the house. The grocery store is also very close to the house. Abbot Kinney is within walking distance but the beach is a little bit of a hike but if you have a bike (which the host provides two) it is extremely easy and fast. I would highly recommend this house to stay at. The host is also very easy to get a hold of for questions, etc. and has very good recommendations for things to do.
