We had a great stay at Michael's place in Mar Vista. Site description and photos are accurate. It's a true efficiency - space is tight! But we settled in there for 10 days happily, and there were drawers and shelves for storing our stuff. There's a Trader Joe's one mile away, and we stocked the tiny little fridge. We used the toaster oven but never turned the stove on. Enjoyed the balcony (which overlooks Venice Avenue, a moderately busy street) as well as the pool & hot tub! We borrowed bikes from local friends, and it's a straight 3.0 mile shot down to Venice Beach. Easy off-street parking in assigned spot. One morning we seemed not to have hot water, and the next morning we had to let it run for a very long time for it to get hot (which was a shame in the drought); not sure if it was related to normal demand in the mornings in the building or if it was a fluke. Free wifi in the unit worked well. Overall we had a great stay and would definitely consider staying there again. Thanks, Michael!
