We arrived late and had to leave early to catch a flight at LAX — super-convenient to airport, took us maybe 7 minutes at 6am. Plus there’s a gas station a block away if you need to refuel a rental car! The neighborhood looks nice, but we didn’t get a chance to explore or go to the beach. Our room was really pleasant and Pam and her husband were great about helping us schlep all our stuff up from the car, even though we arrived at midnight. (Note: on-street parking will be a challenge in the evening and probably weekends, too.) Be aware that the apartment is small, so not a good choice if you’re looking for lots of personal space and privacy.
