We were so happy with Josh's place, and the location was superb. Josh did come out to greet us, and was very nice. We were running around town most of the time, and got good use out of his bikes. I LOVE the strip of Lincoln right around the corner. Plenty of awesome local businesses, which we had fun exploring. But the walk or ride down to Abbot Kinney and/or the beach is totally doable, and especially very scenic if you take the car-free paths. The apartment is great- I loved all the decorative details! It was a little chillier while we were in town, but between the heater and the blankets, we were very cozy. Having a little kitchenette was a major plus, because we had leftovers, and picked up a few things at the farmers market in Santa Monica (very close by.) LA traffic is the worst, but this was a convenient resting place, and a nice retreat from the city at the end of the day. Highly recommend!
