Erick was a great host. He met us on arrival and gave a us quick tour of the apartment and some information about the area. He was always prompt to respond to any questions we had. The apartment was clean, nicely decorated, safe and as expected. The location is great if you want to be in the Venice area. For us, a young family, it was probably a little too edgy to walk around the neighbourhood in the late afternoon/evening but there was an off street space for our car (I think essential for a trip to LA) and we drove wherever we went. Good proximity to Venice beach, Santa Monica, LAX and Whole Foods. Thanks for letting us stay!
