Do not hesitate to book! I tend to over-research and look at hundreds of places, and second guess everything, but we LOVED our stay here and could have stopped looking right away. The location is great - just a few blocks walk from Gjelina and Abbott-Kinney shopping area but on a very quiet street. We walked to Venice beach and the canals one day, and other evenings took a cheap uber there for eating out. The loft itself is spotless, light-filled, fun and stylish. It's also really spacious. My sister stayed in an airbnb a few blocks away on Woodlawn and it was TINY! Another friend stayed one block off the beach but I would choose the loft over that one too. Donald is an awesome host. Communication was quick and friendly, and he has a lot of thoughtful touches that make you feel really welcome. Everything in the loft is really high quality and it has everything you need, from kitchen items to bathroom products. Donald had lots of good tips for places to eat and places to visit, it was a great home base for us to explore LA. We had no trouble getting parking on the street outside the loft, and did day trips to the Getty Center, Observatory, Rodeo Drive, etc. We stayed 4 nights, but the loft would be very comfortable for an extended stay. I wish we could have stayed longer and would not hesitate to book again.
