We were a party of 4 and stayed at the apartment for 3 days. The place truly is as described; here are also a few items of note from our personal experience:

- Saam is extremely helpful and goes out of his way to make sure his guests are comfortable. Any time we were looking for something in the apartment and it wasn't there, Saam made an offer to drive up and bring it over.

- The apartment was clean, modern and had everything a hotel would (towels, paper towels, coffee maker, etc...). I'm sure if the apartment doesn't have it, Saam will probably arrange it for you ahead of time if asked. Just don't ask for a pony, parking is tight (but our giant rented SUV fit just fine!) ;)

- I don't know much about LA, but it seems like you need a car anywhere. Venice beach is a short drive away; everything else is reachable within 20 minutes or a bit longer, depending on traffic. A grocery store is located right near the apartment, so it was very convenient for us.

- Although the place doesn't have AC, opening the windows creates a very nice breeze. My mom is the type of person that cannot survive in anything over 70 degrees and even she was comfortable.

Overall, I would definitely recommend this place - great value for what we paid.

Thanks Saam!
