Nate is a perfect host. He greeted us personally in a relaxed LA manner and made us feel at home immediately.
The apatment is really nice. With a comfy bed, couch in front of a humongous TV and Netflix/HBO access for lazy evenings after a day on the town.
We were extra happy about the washer/dryer, since we had been travelling for 10 days when we arrived and were getting tired of lugging around dirty clothes.
The location was really good for our needs/wishes - just a few minutes ride in the car from Venice and not much further to Santa Monica. And since the expression "walking distance" is basically unheard of in LA, we were really grateful about the convenient parking in the garage - just three floors down with the elevator.
We'll be happy to stay here next time we're in town!
