We had an amazing stay at this apartment. It's located right between the beach, the Venice canals and Abbot Kinney. It has a kayak, surfboard and two bicycles to use. We didn't even use our car while we were there (parking was difficult when we first arrived Friday afternoon, but didn't seem quite as bad at other times ). The cats are wonderful and very easy-going: they cuddled with our kids, didn't wake us up to ask for food and were fine staying outside the bedroom when we closed the door at night. When we ran into a small problem it was solved within a few minutes. Peter left very detailed instructions for everything. Highly recommended!
