John's place is just as described. It was nice, cozy, and quiet. I really felt safe walking around in the neighborhood, both night and day. The neighbors that share the yard area were very friendly. Everyday the neighborhood senior citizens were walking and exercising, and they were very friendly also. The apartment was well stocked with utensils, pots, and pans. We cooked breakfast and were out most of the day, but the place was wonderful. It was located perfectly for us to visit the beach, and to get in and out of LA during rush hour. Parking is on the street in front of the apartment. Be prepared to park a couple of blocks away on the adjoining corner street later at night. The area is safe. I accidentally left both back windows down on my car with things in the back seat all night. Everything was just as I left it, and untouched. Thanks John for a great AirBNB experience.
