My friends from France and I (from NY) met in LA and we stayed at Mike and Anna's lovely apartment. The apt was tastefully decorated and incredibly clean - really spotless!! .....and the beds were dreamily comfie. My friends wanted to take one of the beds back to France with them, but realized they'd have to check their bags rather than do carry on, so they nixed that idea. Mike was tremendously helpful with all of our questions and always readily available including at 10PM when, on the night I arrived, I couldn't find the address on the house and called him for guidance! The apt was located conveniently close to Venice Beach as well as easy access to the highway for all other places we wanted to go - Santa Monica, Malibu, Manhattan Beach etc.. I would highly recommend staying at Mike and Anna's place if you're looking for a clean, comfy, convenient and quiet place - I would definitely stay there again!
