Julian was a very welcoming and accommodating host. His apartment is in a fantastic location for quick access to the beach (5 mins walk) as well as a whole host of amazing restaurants and shops around Venice. The apartment is very comfortable and affordable considering its great location. If you are visiting LA without a car, I would say Julian's place is the perfect location to be based. All the things you need and much more are within 10 mins walking distance. Highly recommended, particularly for people who have not visited LA before.
