This rental is very nice, more an apartment than a studio. It is in a safe and convenient neighborhood, with a view of the ocean from a small window. More important, this area is always at least 15 degrees cooler than inland Los Angeles. The owner has done a great job of updating. The bed was comfy, the towels wonderful, the kitchen well equipped. It's a very nice, large space compared to a hotel room. The owner very kindly provided coffee, filtered water, etc., and was very responsive to inquiries and special requests.
