We stayed at Hamid's place for a month. We could not have chosen a better location! Steps from the beautiful Venice Canals, 5 minutes from Venice Beach and 5 minutes from hip Abbot Kinney! Bars, restaurants, gym classes, sand, boats and more.
Hamid was kind enough to let us use his washer / dryer machines, which really helped as we were staying for a fairly long time. The apartment has everything you will need to stay for a day or a month. The air conditioning works well. There is no a/c in the bedroom, which initially concerned us, but we can attest to the fact that, having been there for the month of July, the fan actually works really well.
Parking can be a little tricky - we managed to get 3 parking tickets in 4 weeks. Read the parking signs really really carefully.
Overall, fantastic location, sizeable apartment, kind host.
