Emily’s place was exactly as promised and more! As a couple with a baby and a dog we want zero hassle checking in and out, a safe and clean neighborhood and proximity to all the fun things and this place really nails it. The walking distance to the beach cannot be beat. The construction didn’t bother us at all. With the windows closed our baby slept through the whole thing. Emily’s prompt responses and excellent customer service set this place above and beyond. The neighborhood is very similar to Venice CA with lots of colorful characters and fun bars and restaurants within walking distance, but WAY less crowded than Venice. We spent every day at the beach, walked the dog to the dog beach, my husband rented a surfboard from OB Shed And surfed a couple days and we had great coffee and an açaí bowl daily. Everywhere was very baby and dog friendly. We will definitely be back!
