We enjoyed our stay at Katie’s place, the apartment is new and modern and was exceptionally clean. The layout is also well organised, two of the bedrooms have ensuites and the other 2 share a common bathroom. It is on the ground floor so no lugging suitcases upstairs. There is a supermarket and some restaurants nearby which made it easy to manage our trip. It is about 25 mins by car, depending on traffic, to Santa Monica and a very short car ride to Universal Studios. We would stay there again.
