Sima was a very friendly and helpful host! Prior to our arrival we connected by phone and she even recommended a place for us to lunch as we made our way from Santa Barbara to Los Angeles! Sima was very responsive to our needs during our stay too. She met us upon our arrival and showed us around the apartment. It was the perfect place for two-- neat and clean with nice decor and a lovely bathroom with shower. The apartment is situated behind the main house (acessible by stairs) with a private entrance and a lovely little garden space . It offered a very private and cozy space to stay! We were able to park our car in back of the property & lots of safe street parking is available. This place felt like a home away from home with TV, sofa, nice sized bed and lots of closet space and a nice little kitchen. One side of the apartment butts up to the side o f neighbor's two story house but there is a nice view of trees from the main window and a view of the garden from the kitchen window. Very convienet to goods and services and a 1.8 mile drive to vencie beach. We will certainly plan to stay here again!
