This is exactly what I have always imagined an urban loft in NYC might be like- big, square space, cleverly laid out and decorated to make room for everything you need! Huge kitchen, island & ceramic cooktop; living space with sofa, TV, desk w/computer etc.; bedroom & closet area... right up above a shop on a busy street! Heavy doors effectively shut out the noise of traffic. Fun bonus is the little rooftop space with chairs and table and shade cloth. I went out at sunrise and sunset almost every day :) (may or may not have been humming James Taylor's 'On the Roof'...)
1.5 miles down the road is Venice Beach and pier... a lovely place to listen to waves or walk for exercise or sit with coffee. And the Marina del Rey/Culver City/ Santa Monica area is full of interesting restaurants.
Dennis is hospitable, responsive and gracious- everything was organized and prepared and he was super helpful when I had a question.
A fun way to imagine myself living in an Big City for a few days! Recommend.
