The place is really very private and good located for enjoying all the virtues of Abbot Kinney etc. The beach is about 20-25 min away. The area is generally clean and safe. Oreet has some rules regarding the guesthouse which actually made us more mindful during our stay (especially concerning water usage etc.). NB there were ants on one occasion (after a heavy rain). While it didn’t bother us at all, all the sensitive guests on this matter should be prepared:)
