Joe and Judy were very welcoming when we arrived and helped us out whenever we had a question. The apartment was very clean and had a great layout allowing privacy for my brother and I, him in the one bedroom and myself on the sofa bed. Both beds are very comfortable! The location is fantastic for Venice beach/ Santa Monica Pier/ LAX and there are loads of restaurants and bars within walking distance! I very much enjoyed my runs along the beach in the morning,although we were warned that at night the area a little further north of their house was a bit seedy. A great place to stay! !!
