We love our trips to LA, and Barbara's apartment made this one even better than usual. The location is hard to beat and the layout was perfect for us: clean, well-organized, and comfortable. The area is residential and quiet for Venice, offering quick access to the beach, shopping, etc! Barbara is a fantastic host: friendly, quick to respond, informative, but also let us keep to ourselves. We had a wonderful stay and are already looking forward to coming back next year!
