We visit LA about 2-3 times a year since we have family in the area. This time we chose to be in a different area, closer to the beach. We were initially looking for somewhere right off the beach, maybe in Santa Monica but we didn't find much available that fit all our criteria. We were pleasantly surprised by our stay there. The home was clean and cozy and the decor was creative. I always look for creative spaces. The outdoor space was especially beautiful and comfortable. We sat outside more than, or just as much as we sat inside. We were able to bbq and have dinner outside at least 3 times in 8 days. Biking to Venice Beach was 10 minutes and Santa Monica Beach was 15. Great shops nearby and the nearest organic supermarket is a pleasant 10 minute walk away. I really enjoy walking and the neighborhood was conducive to walking and taking in the sites. It was super convenient to have a carport but street parking was super easy, as well.
