We loved staying at Sorina's place! It was exactly as described and photographed. We would definitely recommend it. We had a great time traveling with our almost 10-month-old baby. Sorina had a pack-n-play and there were some toys and books as well. The place isn't baby-proof but we weren't expecting that and just kept an eye on the baby.
- Cute apt with nice updates. Everything was clean and well thought out. It felt cozy and comfortable.
- Sorina was so easy to communicate with from the moment we made our reservation. She was thoughtful and very nice. She also provided easy instructions for everything.
- AC worked very well. It was only located in the bedroom but due to the size of the apt and the ceiling fans the whole place stayed cool. As it's a corner apt, air flowed well when we opened the windows.
- Having a dedicated parking space was also great. It was just a challenge to navigate the narrow alley to get from the street to the lot in the rear. (We had a full-size car; larger cars may have more difficulty)
- Unfortunately we didn't get to use the bikes to get around. It would have beat the traffic and parking at the beach but we had our baby and no bike seat appropriate for her. Hopefully another time!
- The neighborhood was nice and quiet. It was close to beaches, LAX, stores, and restaurants. Most everything was a 5-15 min drive. Beaches were a little farther due to heavy traffic. And we were within close walking distance to a coffee shop/bakery we like called Lodge Bread.
