My mom and I were in town to visit family. I can't comment on the location as we weren't really tourists exploring the area. It seemed very safe and a short drive to the marina. convenient to LAX (15 min drive). shopping center and some restaurants walkable, though recommend a car (it is LA). Arrival was very smooth and Fiona was very responsive during the whole process of booking and coordinating the key. Place was really cute as pictured. Super clean. Comfortable beds, soft sheets, nice towels (not to be taken for granted on airbnb). While advertised as stay for 2, there is a small private nook off the living area with a twin separate from the main bedroom with a double. Note the bathroom is off the main bedroom. But that worked fantastic for my me and my mom to give us some personal space. great value for the area, esp compared to the limited hotel options.
