The location is great if you want to be close to the beach. Uber/Jump scooters are all over there so if you don't fancy walking you can take a quick ride.
The host is a super friendly person and a very minimalistic guy (take it as a complement Lancelot :)) so you will have plenty of room in the fridge for yourself ;) Room was clean and the bed was comfortable so we had a good night sleep. The only small disadvantage for us was that we felt a little bit cold if not dressed in a warm jumper, but hey it was January (15-19 Celcius during our stay). Lancelot offered his help and turned on the heating system but it might not be sufficient for colder winter days so in case you really like to keep warm be prepared to wear sth more than t-shirt inside the apartment. Overall we can definitely recommend this place as a safe and comfy base for your LA visit.
