Laurie and Andy were the perfect hosts. They were there to greet us when we arrived and provided us with travel tips, but also gave us plenty of privacy. The villa was conveniently located in the quaint Kensington area and just a short drive to everything - beaches, the zoo, balboa park, little italy. We also appreciated that the villa was stocked with everything to make us feel at home, even beach towels! I would definitely recommend this listing to my friends and family.
