Myself, my husband and my 2 kids had an awesome stay at Nadir’s place. It was exactly as described, The view from the balcony and walk to the beach was even better than expected. It’s a very short drive from LAX with little to no traffic due to back roads!
We traveled to Santa Monica, Malibu, Rodeo Dr, the Hollywood walk of fame, and even did a Warner brothers studio tour (highly recommend) while at Nadir’s. All of these places were convenient to his home, but also far enough away from the hustle and bustle.
Playa Del Ray is a great little town, not super touristy, way less crowded beaches, and fun little restaurants. We loved Cafe Milan and Señor G’s, both of which were walking distance from the house. Pro tip, Hank’s pizza delivers free to the house, it’s not the best pizza I’ve ever ate, but it’s fine for a meal when you don’t want to leave the home. Prices are good and there are a lot of options other than pizza.
Nadir was a wonderful host, he made check in a breeze and explained everything to us. His communication was great and he answered all questions and even offered tips for restaurants and things to do.
Parking can be challenging at times but Nadir offered suggestions and even let us park in his spot while he was gone. Watch out for the red curbs throughout all of LA, we did get a ticket for being parked in front of one, oops! It was our first time driving & parking in LA (not using Uber’s).
We had an amazing stay with Nadir and will stay at his place again next time we visit LA!
