Laurie's place was exactly as described, perfect for the two of us. It is easily accessed via an alley off Montana. The unit is upstairs above the freestanding garage and has several windows so that there is good air circulation and light. It was very clean and everything functioned well - lights, heat, door locks, water. We slept well - it was quiet and the bed was comfy. Laurie was responsive to our questions about the place and we found everything there to be just what we wanted. Although there appeared to be a construction project going on next door, we were there on a Saturday and Sunday, so were not bothered by it. We liked being able to walk to a grocery store, restaurants and coffee shop - all within several blocks. One day we walked 20 minutes to Santa Monica Beach Bicycle Rentals at 1428 4th and rented bikes to ride through Venice. Another day we visited LACMA. We ate dinner two nights at R+D Kitchen up the street. Had a great time.
