We were greeted by a bottle of wine and some hors d'ouevres. Wonderful hosts. Quick response times if you have questions about anything. Fantastic place. We're picky. Though the townhouse is located in a somewhat tight quartered neighborhood, I still felt we had privacy. Location is amazing...just a few blocks from Marina and beach. You can see the water from the upstairs. Walking distance to shopping center with Whole Foods, and other quality shops. Awesome biking/running path along beach. We were on a business trip but extended our stay because the place is very homey. Also great place if you are on business in LA but would rather retreat to the beach. Six thumbs up from our crew of 3.
