Buz was great, very helpful in making sure we knew how to get to his apartment, and very responsive with any questions. The apartment was just as it looks in the photos, spacious and clean. We are a family of 4 with two small children, and the layout was perfect for us and we had plenty of space. The apartment is close to the beach, and we walked there easily. It is Venice Beach, so there are a few seedy characters milling about, but that is to be expected in this neighborhood. I would definitely recommend this place to friends - we were very comfortable, and it was the perfect base for exploring L.A.!
