This spot is ideal. I grew up in Phoenix, and driving to LA was a common summertime experience. Since moving to the Bay Area, I make the now-southern trip less and less. I married a British guy who’s always complained (in a cheeky way) that “this isn’t the California they sold us on the post cards” in reference to the sometimes-rainy/foggy San Jose weather. Rolling my eyes, I vowed to give him his dose of post-card-worthy CA one day. Liz and John’s place was just it. We worked from home from their hip pad for a week. We enjoyed the fresh sea air throughout the day, the eclectic and delicious eating options on Abbot Kinney, and walking to the beach in the evenings to watch the night fall over an incredible patch of LA beach. You won’t regret opting to stay here, and John and Liz are exceptional hosts. Looking forward to next time!
