The apartment and location was fantastic and absolutely beautiful, but when you add David's hospitality, it becomes more than a 5+ star experience! My wife, 2 teenage daughters and I stayed a week here and could not have had a better time! We were close to the airport, downtown L.A. and all the beach communities. We especially loved walking the miles of trails available along the California coastline, as well as enjoying the private pool and Jacuzzi at the apartment complex. Most days my daughters would tan at the pool without anyone else around. David also opened up his full kitchen providing fresh fruit and more. I loved having coffee in the mornings on his ocean view balcony with sounds of the apartment complex's fountain in the background. For a white sand beach, we drove up to Rodondo Beach, 20 minutes away, and were completely satisfied. It was also a bonus to have Trader Joe's and 7 different restaurants within a 5 minute drive. Plus David provided off street, covered parking. If we ever get a chance to come back to L.A. for business or pleasure, I will first check to see if David's place is available.
