It had been a pleasant stay, especially because the apartment is ideally located very close to Venice beach, still in a quite paceful street and this was important to me with two kids. The apartment is basic but convenient and of course you pay the location. When we arrived some things were either broke or missing and Mike was very kind to change/buy. The carpet was quite dirty and Mike replaced it, also offering a cleaning of the entire house. The only problem was that the process was very slow, mainly because the host was very slow in answering. No answer during week-ends, for example, and in general I had to send many reminders. Anyway the apartment is a good value for money choice, in a fun area. And Mike is a kind person, helpful as much as he can. He also allowed us to stay until 5 pm the day of the check-out and we really appreciated.
