This place is definitely a step above the others we have stayed in. The location is perfect - walking distance to restaurants, CVS, and the bus line. If you are there on Sundays, be sure to get to the farmer's market about 3 blocks away.
The apartment was very clean and well-equipped. The hostess left a lovely assortment of snacks and breakfast foods, as well as simple condiments like olive oil, mustard and ketchup packets, salt & pepper etc. Odile thought of every thing to make your stay more pleasant, including sunscreen and two bikes you can use to ride over to Venice Beach, about 2 miles away
The apartment contains an iron and small ironing board and an electric "fireplace" heater to knock off the early morning California chill. The queen size memory foam mattress is quite comfortable.
All in all, we have already decided to try to make this place our first choice when returning to the area, which we do about 2-3 times a year.
