I've stayed in a lot of locations in\around LA and this has been the best so far. The house itself was great with lots of details to make you feel at home and lots of space. The rooftop deck offered fantastic views of the city and we spent several evenings just watching the Sun go down.
Location-wise, it was a moderate walk to the ocean but there are restaurants and shops (including a Whole Foods) very close by so it was a good balance of quiet and convenience. Pretty much ideal for us.
