Ari is an outstanding host and the apartment/condo is impeccable. The location was perfect for me and my partner as I was a visiting professor at UCLA and I could either take a walk to my office or catch a shuttle from a nearby stop. Excellent restaurants and grocery shopping were all very near and so convenient. The apartment itself is very clean, cheery, and extremely well-stocked with everything you could imagine you would need. Plus, all the kitchen appliances, dishes, pots, pans, etc., were consistently of high quality. If you feel a need to get to the beach, you can also do so since it is a very easy drive to Santa Monica. A little further up the coast you'll find some nice and not overly crowded beaches as well as the Getty Villa. The freeway entrance is neither too far nor too close, which was also nice. As for Ari, he is a very intelligent and considerate person who did everything to make our stay a wonderful experience. He always responded to our emails and text messages very quickly and accommodated all our special requests. We felt spoiled. The front staff in the complex were also pleasant and helpful. If the chance arises, we would definitely stay again.
