We really enjoyed our stay here. The price is not cheap but the location is outstanding, situated a few min walk from Venice Beach and Abbott Kinney Blvd. Some other positives are 1) the apartment is very spacious and was a great fit for a large family 2) Alex was an extremely responsive host. In one case where a sink was draining slowly, he had a maintenance person come almost immediately to address it.
The main negative is not really Alex's fault at all but this is an apartment and the neighbors upstairs can be very loud until quite late at night. There is also noise from the street until fairly late in the evening. So depending on what time you're going to bed and how jetlagged you are, this could be a serious issue.
