Jessica’s friend and neighbour Michael - a really nice and helpful Guy - met us with the keys and showed us around the apartment as Jessica was away. Communication with Jessica has been really easy, she was always quick to respond if we had any questions about the apartment and generally very helpful. The apartment itself is amazing and unique, having been really well designed by Jessica herself. She has clearly put a lot of care, attention and talent into the place. The downstairs is very spacious and open plan, with what seems like a brand new and fully equipped kitchen. Everything is as it appears in the photos, which must be very recent. The master bedroom with it’s huge windows and glass roofed en-suite bathroom is particularly impressive. There’s even a small roof terrace too, with a nice view of the LA sunset. The huge TVs in the living room and master bedroom seem to have loads of inclusive streaming services but we didn’t really have time to make use of them. Wifi is extremely fast.

The location would be hard to beat. It’s a very short walk - cross the road and maybe another 30 seconds - and you’re on the beach. Turn right out the building and in one minute you hit Washington Blvd, which has plenty of bars, restaurants, cafes and convenience stores. It’s only a few minutes walk from there to the Venice canals, the lively Venice Beach/North Venice Blvd (with loads more bars etc) or in the other direction to Abbot Kinney Blvd, if you’re looking for more upmarket/trendy bars, cafes and boutiques. The Marina del Ray is also a short walk away.

I’m really not sure you could do better for the price in Los Angeles in terms of both location and the apartment itself and we wouldn’t have to think twice about staying here again. Thank you Jessica, hope we can come to stay again!
