Michael's place was well-located and close to both the hip areas in Culver City as well as the beach. My only suggestion for improvement would be to invest more into the cleanliness of the unit - the bedsheets had a musty/old smell, utensils weren't properly washed, and the sofa had stains. The TV also wasn't working and didn't work/wasn't remedied for the entire duration of our stay. Also, be aware that there is no sink in the "kitchen" area so dishes will have to be washed in the bathroom sink.
Other than that, not bad and we do thank Michael for his hospitality.
