Joe and Judy's place is superb. The location is perfect - it is literally steps from the path that runs along the beach front. In my opinion, it is actually better to be set back on this side of Speedway, as it is quieter than being right on the front and you don't get people constantly walking past. But you are so close, you can still hear the surf from inside the house! The apartment is closer to Washington Blvd than it is to the Muscle Beach area (although there's not much in it) - and again I think this is an advantage. This section of the beach is quieter, and less tacky than the area around all the t-shirt / souvenir stores. Washington Blvd has a number of good places to eat, and some basic market stores for groceries. I did not need to use my rental car for shopping during my stay.

The apartment itself is lovely - it's light and bright, and is decorated beautifully. I could quite happily have stayed longer than the few days I had available, and would certainly book again. Although I didn't meet Joe during my stay, I did meet Judy, who was super helpful - a lovely lady.

Thank you both for listing your great place, and we hope to return some time soon.
