Patrick was an excellent host. He was on hand to meet us, and accommodated us arriving slightly earlier than his usual check in time. He is honestly one of the most thorough hosts I've worked with, producing an excellent intro the area welcome pack, full of restaurants, maps and insights into the local area that proved invaluable. The apartment itself was great and clean. A few people have commented on the noise from the apartment above but it's no more than you would get in a regular apartment and didn't bother us. The apartment is clean, tidy and we made use of the bikes to go down to Venice beach and cycle to Santa Monica. A great stay - fully recommend anyone looking for a great taste of Californian living.
