We stayed at Maria Luz’s place for 3 nights and had a great time. There was lots of room for the four of us (parents and 2 teenagers) and the house was very well equipped with everything we needed. The house was a 10 minute walk from the beach, good restaurants on Rose, and tons of trendy shops and restaurants on Abbot Kinney. Parking was easy and the quiet street was great for sleeping.
I would definitely stay here again on a trip to Los Angeles.
