Joe and Judy are fine hosts and live downstairs in a separate part of the same house. When one light failed, their son quickly repaired it.

The apartment is nicely situated, one block from the excellent beach and beachfront walking/biking path, 1-1/2 blocks from the Venice canals (a must-see!), and about 5-6 blocks from commercial establishments (bars, restaurants), so it is indeed as quiet as can be expected in Los Angeles. It is a pleasure to sleep listening to the sound of the surf.

The apartment's three rooms (plus bath) are comfortable. The living room is nicely decorated and includes a sofa and two comfy chairs, the bedroom has a comfortable bed (but access on one side is a bit cramped) and the kitchen is adequate for breakfast. There is no kitchen table at which to eat, but we were tourists and wanted to be away much of the day, so it was not missed.

The apartment comes with a very handy parking place (essential in Los Angeles).

Net, this is indeed a nice, cozy apartment in an excellent location and one where we will want to stay next time we are in Los Angeles.
