Marie's home was perfect for our anniversary trip. Just a short walk to the Abbot Kinney area and less than a mile walk to the beach. There is a Whole Foods, CVS, and dollar store just on the other side of the apartment and an amazing taco food truck that's set up out front each night. We felt safe in this area walking at night and didn't have any issues. The neighbors were very friendly and there's easy access to ride-sharing at this location. We definitely hope to stay here again when visiting the area.
