Andrew's place was perfect for us. It has an amazing location: just a few blocks from the beach. It's close to shops, restaurants and bars but not too loud at night. The garage was a big plus for us. Bring your bikes and bike the boardwalk every day. You can bike for 20+ miles: south past Redondo beach, north past Venice Beach and Santa Monica pier. If you don't bring bikes, rent them! We highly recommend Andrew's place and hope to return at some point. A great place to stay!
