Frankie went to a great deal of effort to make sure the apartment was tidied up after the previous guests and to make us feel welcome. He is clearly a very conscientious and honest person as well as being super friendly. The location of the apartment was great, a short stroll to the beach or to the Venice canals. There's a small supermarket just beyond the canals on Washington Blvd which was convenient. The street immediately outside the property has parking with no through-traffic and it is really quiet, and it's a short drive to the Pacific Highway and the Santa Monica freeway. A perfect place for the last two nights of our trip - when we return to LA we'll be coming back here!
