Silvia's place is spacious, clean, and comfortable. Check in was a breeze. The neighborhood is fun and safe, you should definitely walk around and enjoy the shops! Bixby Park is only a few blocks away, it's got open green spaces, a playscape, a dog park, and a community center. The beach is just a block or two from there - I loved getting down to there every morning. If you like eating in, the kitchen has all the utensils, pots, pans, and small appliances you'll need. The host was very responsive to questions during our stay.
