The location and views were amazing. We rented bikes right outside our doorstep and rode south to the canals and north past the Santa Monica Pier. We had 2 young children with us (5 & 8) and the riding was easy and fun for them. It's also an easy walk to the fantastic Abbott Kinney shopping street - Gjelina ... yum! The apartment was honestly represented in the description and the photos. If you are looking for the Four Seasons ... keep on going. If you want a comfortable, well equipped (Sonos, Apple TV, books & games), casual spot in the heart of the action - this is it! The kitchen and bathrooms were well supplied with not only pots and pans but also expendables like dish soap and garbage bags (the kind of thing you really don't want to have to purchase for a short stay). Well done, Brendan!
