The good:
Amazing view of Marina Del Rey and regions south of LA, spacious apartment, conveniently located a short walk away from Marina Peninsula/Venice beach area and lively area for people who want some semblance of "night life" but don't really want to hit bars and clubs (although there are quite a few bars in the neighborhood).
What could have been better:
Didn't get an iron (we bought our own), barely any light in the bedroom (we bought our own bulbs and had to install it), communication wasn't as timely as we expected it and ensure that you report any upfront damage. The kitchen sink faucet was damaged before our arrival but the host blamed it on us. Ensure that you take pictures of any damage and report it upfront so that there's no confusion later.
