Buz was very hospitable and responsive to my questions.
No issues with the apartment. I picked it for it's convenient location to SM and Venice, and the location worked out perfectly for me as I was there apartment hunting.

Everything in the apartment was in good condition and it will serve your basic needs if you're in town to sight-see or beaching bumming. The walls are a little thin, as I could hear my neighbors over the TV, but I sleep pretty so it wasn't an issue.
