Our stay at EJ's place was fantastic. The loft is bright and airy with no less than three balconies (one of which had a great sunset view)--not to mention the patio. The space accommodated the three of us (couple and 14 yr old son) well. We didn't feel as if we were on top of each other even though the space is so open. EJ was a wonderful host. His binder of neighborhood recommendations came in handy as well and allowed us to settle in as locals. Check-in and all communications were smooth and cordial; the loft was well-equipped with everything we needed to be comfortable; the plants and decor provided a "home-y" atmosphere sometimes lacking in an air bnb. Also, the location was phenomenal--so convenient. 1 1/2 blocks from the beach (close enough to the action but quiet and relaxing), close to Abbot Kinney, easy access to both Santa Monica and Venice. We've returned home relaxed and refreshed.
