We spent a wonderful long weekend here while visiting our daughter who is a college student in LA. We usually stay in hotels when we come to visit but decided to try renting a house this time so we could enjoy some family time, and this turned out to be a perfect place to do that.
The house has an incredible view from the front over the Pacific, which you can enjoy from either the breakfast table or the front porch. My family enjoyed sunning and swimming in the pool out back. It was also fun to walk down the hill to a walking bridge to the beach.
There is a grocery store at the bottom of the hill that is very convenient if you want to get supplies to eat in, and the location is convenient to attractions like the Getty Center, Will Rogers State Park, and Santa Monica.
The living room and master bedroom look professionally decorated and are quite comfortable. The bed in the second bedroom is quite low to the floor, but perfectly comfortable otherwise. There is also a study with a slider out to the pool deck which has what I think was a pull out couch, though we never tried it. The kitchen and bathrooms are fairly dated but clean and serviceable. If you are tall, you should be aware that the shower heads in both bathrooms are oddly low. I'm 6'1" and they were at about mid-chest for me, so I had to bend down quite a bit to wash my hair. Given all the other advantages of this house, I was quite happy to put up with this, but worth a note.
If you're looking for a quiet place to enjoy views, a walk on a beach, and a private pool, this is a great option. We will definitely look to return on our next visit to LA.
