Michelle was an amazing host. She was very responsive and communicative and gave me information about all the great neighborhood spots for coffee, restaurants, shopping and things to do. Her listing is exactly as described -- it's warm, welcoming and comfortable; a clean and beautiful apartment. The neighborhood is ideal -- it's quiet and I felt very safe. Centrally located and very walkable, close to both the freeway and the beach, shopping/services, Whole Foods and many dining choices. Highly recommend.
