Alex was a wonderful host. He was responsive and provided clear instructions for check-in. When an issue arose with the heater in the apartment, Alex responded promptly to try to fix it. The apartment was in a great location, walking distance to Gjusta, a fantastic bakery, and Wurstkuche, a great hot dog and fries restaurant. The location was residential and felt safe. It was also a few minutes' drive to Whole Foods and Venice beach.
