Our host did her best to make our stay enjoyable, providing a space heater when there was a problem with the heating.
The flat is as shown in the pictures.
It has a great view of the sea and sunsets, albeit with a large pair of electricity poles on the RHS.
Location was excellent: a five minute downhill walk to Main Street with shops and bus stops.
A further five minutes brings one to the beach. Turn left and there is a fascinating walk into Venice; turn right and there is a marvellous beach leading to the Santa Monica Pier.
Parking is good.
Area is good with leafy suburban roads all around.
Only a couple of points to be aware of: first one can hear the people in the flat above moving around, their alarm clock, and sometimes loud talking.
Second, while we were there the hot water did not come on until 8.30 at weekends, although it was fine in the week.
We could have used the two bikes but did not find the time; they looked in good condition.
