We, myself and my two college-stiudent kids, wanted a place that was close to the beach and allowed each adult enough space to relax, and Jason and Andrew’s place was close-to-perfect. It’s about 3 blocks from both the beach and local shops. The proximity to the beach allowed me to go a long walk, then enjoy coffee on the porch, each morning as my kids slept in. Besides the location and beachiness of the apartment, the other stand out features were the beds, which were great, and having access to a laundry room (plus extra towels, etc.). The kitchen is also well stocked with coffee makers, etc., and I should mention the huge TV which enhanced my son’s late night gaming sessions AND a movie night. Finally, it was also close to Santa Monica (we went to the pier two nights in a row), Malibu and the Getty Villa.
Our only quibbles are with the lamps (we oddly had some issues making some of the lights work, but it was not much of an issue, and we never thought it was worth bugging the hosts about it), and the mega inflatable air mattress, which my son had trouble adjusting to his liking.
Overall it was a great stay in a great place, and we had a fantastic vacation.
