Armin was a great host! He was very quick to respond and accommodated our reservation that we booked just one day before arriving. He was out of town but his friend Ellen who lives in an apartment upstairs was there to help make sure everything was going well. The apartment was spacious and had plenty of space for the two of us. The location is about a six-minute walk to Washington street which has many stores and restaurants. It is about a ten-minute uber ride to Venice Beach, 15-20 minute uber ride to Santa Monica, and 20-30 minute ride to LAX. There were beach towels provided to use at the beach. The AC was great to keep the main area cool and the bedroom fan kept the bedroom very cool.
