We rented Mike and Anna's place for 2 weeks and had a wonderful time. We slept with the windows open every night. It was dead quiet and cool. It is short drive from Venice and Santa Monica beaches and is also very convenient to everywhere else in LA as freeway 405 is only a quick mile away. Mike was very responsive to our needs. We actually had a wonderful dinner together one night with he and Anna! Mike knows the area very well. There are groceries close by. The apartment is beautifully appointed and very cozy, has two full bathrooms. Plenty of room for a family of 4! I would unconditionally recommend it!
