Great place, good location with grocery store just around the corner. We enjoyed fully furnished kitchen and cozy living room. Skye and Matt were very supportive and welcoming! Great hosts I highly recommend!
As for location, you'll need to drive to downtown anyway but it's still not so far away. The closest beach is 20 mins drive in Santa Monica. However the place is located near the highway that gives huge advantage to get anywhere you want with no problem!
