Julie was an amazing host. Her 2 daughters are friendly too. She helped us with our every need, whether its extra towels or blankets. The apartment was neat and spacious, even for 4 people. The place is a little inaccessible (a 10 min walk to the nearest bus stop) but since you're gg be in the driving city that is LA you'll probably rent a car anyway =). Helps that it's close to the beach as well! There's a built in kitchenette too if you're lazy to go out to get food!
