Veronica was very kind to meet me at a convenient time so I could work out the many logistics of my son's graduation schedule and various arriving family members. The location of the apartment is awesome - the beach is steps away and was never crowded. It is a quiet residential neighborhood with friendly people coming and going as they jogged, walked dogs and bicycled. It was the perfect location to relax and still be close enough to walk or drive to Venice beach, restaurants, shops, etc. Also, the 2 car garage made it super convenient to come and go.
The apartment itself is beautifully decorated in a warm, rustic-yet-modern style that makes you instantly comfortable. The spacious living spaces and roomy bedrooms made it very comfortable for our family of 4 single adults and one child. The dining and living rooms provided flexible, comfortable seating, the kitchen was large enough for 3 of us to cook at once, the beds were comfy, there were plenty of towels, and the washer/dryer were nicer than my own! I could have stayed forever. I particularly appreciated the little touches the hosts provided - beach towels, blow dryer, dishwasher and laundry detergent, coffee, shampoo, and even Kleenex!
