We spent a week in Rick and Victor's unit in March 2017 and the place was even better than we expected. The pictures don't do it justice.
The hosts were easy to communicate with and left ample means to contact them if we needed anything. The unit has an electronic entry making our check-in and check-out seamless. It was clean and features a beautiful view of the city.
The kitchen was stocked with most everything we needed. The only thing we missed was a coffee pot, though they provided an espresso machine and a variety of teas. A special thanks to our hosts who went out of their way to contact me before we arrived simply to inquire about the creamer flavor I desired. We were celebrating our anniversary and were welcomed by a card, fruit basket and wine when we arrived. How thoughtful was that!
The location is convenient and central to downtown LA, Hollywood, Santa Monica and Beverly Hills. We made it to Venice Beach in less than an hour, as LA traffic is horrendous even for short distances. We enjoyed walking to nearby coffee houses and dined at Millie's for Sunday brunch, which I highly recommend. The area is up and coming, but quiet and safe. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to others and would most definitely stay there again.
