We had a wonderful time in Los Angeles at David's place, wich was very close to Venice Beach and Abbot Kinney blvd. The view and the quiet environment of the marina was an appreciable plus!
David and his brother were very helpful, providing information and tips about the area, things to do...
And the apartment, with its own bedroom and bathroom for the guests, was just perfect! I would definitely recommend David's place for a good LA experience.
