My immediate and extended family were all congregating in LA for the weekend and we needed a place with a common kitchen. Going to a hotel in Santa Monica would have doubled the price, in hotel fees alone. Even then there would not have been a common kitchen to share. Jeff & Shannon's place was just great for our family of 6. We had originally booked for 5 of us but another brother came at the last minute and the place and arrangements were big and flexible enough to include one more easily.
ROOMS: The bedrooms and beds were large and comfortable. The master had a nice walk-in closet too. The large dining room table, good sized kitchen and TV Den easily accommodated our 6 adults.
PARKING: The designated parking place was a little hard to find because it was poorly marked. But it was so convenient, a very short walk from car to front door. And except for the one time someone "invited themselves" to park in our spot, it was great to have that guaranteed parking place available next to the building, on a street with limited parking options.
SHOWER / BATH: The shower pressure in the apartment was good and the bathrooms clean. When we noticed bathroom supplies had run thin we notified Jeff and he responded within a couple of hours to stock us. And he was very considerate to bring us supplies himself and to respect our privacy when coming over.
LOCATION: The place is located very close to either Santa Monica or Brentwood. Still, on an urban residential road, it was quiet at night.
OVERALL:
It was just the perfect place for my family to hang-out for a weekend.
