Amalia’s beautiful home is located on the corner of a quiet and safe neighborhood. There was plenty of parking and it was easy to find. The studio space that we rented was extremely clean and it was the perfect size for my sister and I. The bed was comfortable, and there was a nice sized desk space. We had plenty of room for the both of us to “lounge” inside one day, to just relax, read, and watch movies. If it wasn’t a gloomy day, we would have used the patio space that she has set up nicely right outside. It has a great view of her gorgeous garden. The best part of the place may have to be the kitchen, though, which was stocked with everything from a full size refrigerator, toaster oven, to a portable hot top for cooking meals. Amalia has made it into a space that has anything you can want or need for a weekend (or longer) away.
It is in the perfect location, because you have a safe, secluded feel in their neighborhood; however, it is centrally located to many restaurants and nearby popular tourist cities. It was a 3 minute drive to a great coffee shop in the morning, and then 10 minutes to the downtown life of Venice. This is a great place for anyone visiting LA, who wants a place to feel safe and comfortable, yet close enough to all of the “nightlife” and daytime tourist destinations you could want in Venice, Marina Del Rey, or Santa Monica. Amalia’s place is truly a hidden gem.
