My friend and I rented Unit #2 (2BR/1BA) from Nov through Mid-March, before moving to the smaller Unit #1 until the end of April. We couldn't have been happier with the place! The pictures are spot-on, maybe even a little less wonderful than the actual place. Ed & Sandy are delightful, and were always present and quick to attend to anything needing attention (although that was precious little). Our unit is slated for renovation, which will be wonderful I'm sure, as Ed & Sandy have great taste. But even without the renovation, we were extremely happy with the whole experience there. We frequently walked to the beach, although it is a long walk. The immediate neighborhood is rather "colorful" and convenient enough, and the more up-scale areas of Young Circle and Hollywood Blvd are a reasonable walk or very quick drive away. We spent a lot of time relaxing in the garden, which is a miraculous oasis of comfort and seclusion, thanks primarily to Sandy's hard work. On a couple of occasions, we barbequed on the gas grill and Ed forbade us to clean up the grill afterwards - jumping in and having it done before the sun rose the next morning! We would both RUSH back to this property in a heartbeat when we are in the area again! I can't imagine staying anywhere else!!
