We are a family of 4 travelling from the UK and have just stayed at Chip’s place for 6 nights.
The apartment was exactly as described. Very spacious, well maintained and furnished, with all the amenities we could have wanted.
We also had use of cruiser bikes which we used to cycle along the bike path on the beach. Check in and out was straightforward - we were met upon arrival and shown around the apartment.
The boardwalk at Venice is only a few blocks away, as is Abbot Kinney. There is a Whole Foods market within walking distance too.
A couple of minor electrical issues were dealt with quickly and efficiently by Chip. Communication throughout our stay was excellent and even after our stay when we had left a camera behind after our check out.
We would heartily recommend Chip’s place - we loved it and had a great stay in this happening part of LA!
