Fantastic location and host. Denise was very prompt and friendly in handling all of my questions. The area is safe with a lovely feel to it, feeling more like a small town than a city. A choice of trendy bars, restaurants and stores are all within a short walking distance, and the Metro is just around the corner, making it convenient for getting to Downtown or Santa Monica without having to deal with traffic. The apartment is furnished to a high standard, feeling spacious and modern, and I felt very much at home for the 3 months I stayed there. The neighbours were all cheerful and friendly, which added to the positive community feel of the area. Highly recommended, and would stay again without hesitation.
