It was our first Airbnb experience as well as our first time in California. Our Finnish family of 4 had a great stay at Julie's place. We stayed there six nights and mainly used the apartment for sleeping. Comfortable bed, and our kids slept very well in the couch. The photos corresponded well to reality; apartment is nicely furnished. Julie was very friendly and easy to approach. In addition she was extremely accessible before the stay in terms responding to my questions regarding the reservation. Our girl loved playing in the yard; the Schneider's made us feel very welcome. We also had a great help in being able to use their washing machine. WiFi worked well. Neighborhood felt really safe and was also very quiet. Good access to bus (to Santa Monica beach (15 mins), Venice, Hollywood (45 mins), LA Downtown..). Would definitely stay at Julie's place again if we ever get the chance to go back to LA.
