A place is also only as good as the host. In this case, both Ben and his place were amazing! The 1-bedroom condo is large, spotless, quiet and calming, charming, and has everything that you could possibly need. Ben was an amazing host. He was accommodating with my late check-in, very quick in his correspondence, super friendly and attentive (he would send a courtesy message to inquire if there was anything I needed during the middle of my stay). His condo is very clean and has everything that you could possibly need, from toiletries, bedding, kitchen supplies to a wide assortment of Keurig coffee (or coco if you're a non coffee drinker) selections. The complex is very quiet and relaxing, safe, with onsite swimming pool, laundry and even bbq grills. The covered, secured parking is an added plus. I grew up in the area, and you cannot beat the location given the proximity to the 405/110/91 hwy, the beach within 15-mins west, and the plethora of restaurants (great Asian restaurants) less than a mile away. Will definitely make this my first go-to selection for all my visits to L.A. Highly recommend for a great experience when it comes to comfortable living, great host, convenient location, and value.
