we stay at Chris place for only one night. we took our family to Disneyland and wanted to take a day to rest and relax before heading home. Chris apartment was perfect because it was closed to the pier about 5 min drive to Venetian beach we could probably walk but we had children so we decided to drive. The apartment was very clean and had plenty of towels. reading the reviews I noticed that a lot of people complain about the noise around the city but honestly that was not an issue. Chris was very prompt to respond to my messages and calls, even though it was somehow confusing to get into to the apartment, the main entrance was in one side of the street and the parking entrance in the other side, his instruction were very clear, he even sent me pictures of how the parking entrance looked like and what to expect. he left a bottle of champagne and I found that very sweet, coffee, water, shampoo, plenty of towels, a big bathtub overlooking the main street. the kids loved the TV and access to Netflix and other programming. the sink in the kitchen was not working but a plumber was sent right away and it was fixed. we were able to wash our cloths from our one week trip to Disneyland.
