We really enjoyed our stay at Sam and Tristan's place. The Airbnb is in a great location in Venice near Abbot Kinney, and there are a lot of great shops and restaurants nearby and potentially walkable (though we rented a car so we didn't do much walking). The neighborhood felt safe and quiet -- it was residential and there seemed to be a lot of young families around the area.
The Airbnb itself was a great space for our long stay and the wifi connection was one of the best I've experienced at a stay. We were working for part of the trip, so this was important. There was also ample space for both of us to work without interfering with each other. The decor and furnishings were nice and modern as well.
Finally, we also really enjoyed that there was a private outdoor space attached to the guest house. This allowed us to relax outside and enjoy the sunny LA weather while we were there :)
