Last time we stayed in LA we stayed at the Sofitel and this was Soooo much better! The apartment, family, hot spa, swimming pool, devine garden setting, Monster the dog - were all fabulous. We got great local tips on where to eat, adventure. We got to use their super groovy bikes for free and you simply don't need to rent a car here as you are close to everything. The apartment was spotless, super comfy and adorable. You would be bonkers not to stay here! It made our 3 days in Venice California simply: unforgettable.
