Lauren was the BEST Airbnb host I have ever had! The apartment is steps away from Venice beach (about a one minute walk), ideal for traveling to Santa Monica, anything in Venice, Beverly Hills, Hollywood, or any southern beaches/areas. About a 20 minute ride from LAX. The apartment was plenty big for two and very clean, just as in the pictures! The property is three apartments - one as yours, one as Lauren's, and one for her daughters. So you feel very safe in the building and they are quiet and respectful! While they are all in the same building, you have a separate entry point and door, so we never even saw anyone during our stay. Lauren provided more in the apartment than we could have asked for (should we have needed any of the supplies) - shampoo/conditioner/body wash, toothpaste, q-tips, makeup wipes, dishes, cooking utensils and pans, dish soap, paper towels, all the necessities! Lauren was VERY responsive and happily met us when we arrived to show us around, she provided us a typed list of recommendations for restaurants and activities, and our departure flight got delayed a few hours and she so graciously allowed us to stay past check-out without any hesitation! Lauren was a fantastic host and her apartment is in a wonderful location for traveling/sightseeing, and steps away from a beautiful beach!!
