The apartment was small, but very clean and well-kept. It looked exactly as the photos and description represent. Dee was very responsive, meeting us upon arrival, answering questions, and trouble-shooting when we had problems. The neighbourhood felt safe and the location was perfect for our stay - easy access to beach, restaurants, grocery, etc. The building was pretty old, but in good repair and the amenities (pool and gym) were nice, clean, and pleasant to use. My one piece of feedback would be for the hosts to provide an instructional paper upon check-in which provides tips and information regarding the unit to reduce the number of times I had to contact Dee. I gave this feedback to Dee and she seemed really receptive and said that she would do that, so it likely will not even be an issue for future guests. I also would not recommend staying in this apartment if you are wanting to cook gourmet meals - the kitchen was sparsely stocked and the appliances were older. But we made easier meals (hot breakfasts, lunches, and a couple of easy dinners) and it had everything that we needed. As well, there are so many good restaurants relatively close that are worth exploring, so it was perfect for us. All in all, the stay was very positive and both Dee and Koko were responsive and welcoming hosts. I would not hesitate to stay in this apartment, or other apartments hosted by Dee and Koko, again for future trips to the LA area.
