We stayed at Donald's apartment for a remote "work from home" month. We had three people posting up in various nooks around the apartment. That worked well. The apartment is bright (due to a wall of windows) and spacious. We didn't use the rooftop deck as much as we expected, maybe because the temperature was a bit cool on most days. But what was even better was the joy to be had on even short breaks during the day. The apartment is in a FANTASTIC location. Of course it is only it 1.5 blocks to the ocean, but the real highlight was Venice Beach Park, which is a wonder of human activity. Skateboarders, slack liners, graffiti artists, body builders, etc. -- a wide range of expressive activity is minutes from the apartment. To be clear, it is very much an urban park with grit. We loved it. In the evening, a collection of restaurants and shops is only 15 minutes away on Abbot Kinney street.
Donald was a terrific host; we hope to be back!
