My boyfriend and I really enjoyed staying at Pacalan's place. The room was clean, with a big closet space. Our view from the room onto the Marina was great and we enjoyed using the hot tub. :-D
Even though Palacan himself wasn't there for the checkin and we arrived late in the evening, everything went smoothly and the person handing over the keys was there at the agreed time.
For someone with a car this is the perfect location. It is in a quiet neighbourhood but you can reach all the nice places in and around LA pretty fast. What we enjoyed the most was the walk from the apartment to Venice beach and Santa Monica pier which took as about an hour along the beach. Just great! :-)
