Location. Location. Location. Megan's place is just a few blocks from Abbot Kinney, a fantastic shopping/dining/cocktailing district that you'll definitely spend some time exploring. Close enough to the beach. A quick bike ride and--as luck would have it--there are a couple of bikes available for your borrowing pleasure. Although there's no parking on property, neighborhood parking is free and plentiful. We never spent more than a couple of minutes looking for a nearby spot. The casita itself is stylish, compact, and immaculately clean. The outdoor area is welcoming and the perfect spot to enjoy a beer, a nap, or whatever a perfect getaway means to you. Jay, the property manager, was welcoming, helpful, and a great resource for local advice. Book with confidence. This one's a keeper.
Our favorite "discoveries": Gjelina and Scopa Italian Roots for dinner; The Lincoln for cocktails; and Superba for breakfast.
