Chelsie is a wonderful hostess and her place is lovely and charming, much better than the photos. We stayed there for a little over a month (2 adults, 2 kids) and felt very cozy and safe. It was just spacious enough for what we needed and a nice balcony and a reserved parking space!
Pico is an up-and-coming neighborhood but it felt very safe overall and was 20 minutes walking distance to the beach!
pro tip: if you enter via the main staircase through the alley, the key needs a little wiggling in order to open the gate, so it's not you, it's the gate. Also, make sure you eat at Uovo pasta on 2nd street, it's outer-worldly. Thank you so much Chelsie for having us over, we will certainly recommend your place to friends and family!
