My husband and I stayed here with our daughter for 3 nights right after Christmas. Diane was a great hostess. She left us bottled water and prepped the house in anticipation of hosting our 5 year old with princess sheets on the twin bed, a bowling kit, beach toys and plenty of art supplies. She even set us up with some disney bath soap! So first and foremost, this place is EXTREMELY kid-friendly. The beds were comfy, and the kitchen had everything we needed to cook breakfast each morning. Nice view out the back deck. Easy parking - which is a must in this neighborhood, and there was enough space for our friends to park there too when they visited. The layout of the apartment is a little odd - This is a basement apartment, and the front door opens into the 2nd bedroom (the one with the twin). Nothing bad here... it's just hard to tell this from the pictures so thought I'd share. Great location for walking to the beach, third street promenade, pier, and abbot kinney! Nice view out the back deck towards the mountains.
