Mary and her family were very nice and answered to questions by message or on the phone immediately. The location near Venice Beach was ideal as long as you drive a car and they even had a parking space available right in front of their garage. The fact that there were 2 rooms was a plus to this apartment! It was spacious and being able to use the garden and terrasse area was great! The only thing maybe I could say because I am a very light sleeper, is that the person on top of the apartment was pretty rough when walking in the apartment. We could hear the stumping early in the morning and late at night but except for that I have nothing negative to say..
