Lealani & Jordan's Unit D is very nice and clean, all of us love the cleanliness, coziness, décor and the neighborhood! We did not have a chance to meet Lealani, it's sad! But we got a chance to meet Jordon; when he knew that we were about to drive to Santa Monica beach, he was very nice to ask us to use his lounge chairs, sun umbrella and beach play set. They have stocked sufficient bathroom and kitchen supplies (such as paper towel, dining utensils, zip log bags, dish/laundry detergent, hand wash soap) for our 5-night stay, they even prepared us a pot of cold water in the fridge, coffee and tea bags in the cabinet. Their king bed is very comfortable for four of us (ours are two young children). They said they had an extra queen mattress but we did not even need it. The living room is roomy, we liked to sit on the couch and kids on the ottoman, to watch TV while having ice-cream. We originally had a concern about the absence of air-conditioning in the apartment, however, during our stay (from late June through July 4th holiday), we realized that we did not need AC at all. There were 3 fans (1 standing and 2 desk fans) to make us comfortable at nights. There is a Whole Foods nearby, we liked to stop by there to grab light breakfast/water on our way to Universal Studios. Parking was a bit challenging as it was July 4th weekend; on 2-3 nights, it took us more than 20 minutes to find parking on the side where there will not be street sweeping the next morning. One thing to note - Unit D is on the ground level, so you may hear some noises from 2nd floor. We understand that it’s very common in LA, especially the beach area, as a lot of houses were built a while ago that good sound insulation wasn’t available. To us, it’s bearable, plus, normally by the time we heard the sound, we have already awaken, so not a problem to us at all.
We will definitely stay at Lealani & Jordon’s place again!
