Richard and Terie are fantastic hosts. I was traveling solo and stayed here for 2 months. It was the perfect size and had everything I needed. Check-in was painless and everything was clean upon my arrival. The apartment itself is tucked back behind a few other homes so it always felt safe and quiet. The location itself is fabulous—a 6 min bike ride to the beach but easily walkable straight down Pico Blvd. My favorite part of the home is the amount of windows. There was ample sunlight coming from every direction so if that’s something that makes you happy then this is definitely the place for you. I did a lot of cooking and found the kitchen to be the perfect size. They had an oven, pots and pans, and plenty of cooking utensils to whip up anything I wanted. The only thing I found myself missing was a Pyrex casserole dish to make larger meals so I ended up purchasing single use foil ones which was no problem. The bed was huge and extremely cozy, I slept here with no issues. I had a few problems with the TV and Terie was so good about problem solving with me. The washer and dryer in the unit was a game changer. There were plenty of bath towels and beach towels for my use. I should mention that I was staying here to do a work from home situation but was craving a change of scenery. I set my laptop on the kitchen table and would just work there...while that’s not the ideal setup longterm It was perfectly manageable for 8 weeks. I would choose this place again in a heartbeat. Overall I got extremely lucky finding this gem. Thank you Richard and Terie for such wonderful memories. You are both lovely :)
