Comfortable

Apartment in a building of four. Very well situated: 5 minutes walk to the beach or to Abbot Kinney boulevard with shops and very nice and lively restaurants. Also, several shops and cafés on the seaside, but rather noisy and many tramps.

Comfortable apartment well-equipped for two persons. The owner friendly allowed us to use the private parking spot behind the appartment; otherwise, it is possible to park on the street nearby. As the owner recommended us, make sure that the car does not overtake in the alley, which is very narrow. One morning, we found a note from the neighbours on the windshield to this effect. Sorry...

Unfortunately, there was no recycling bin (glass, paper or plastic).

Had such an amazing stay here! The flats are beautifully designed, great neighbours, friendly neighbourhood, perfect location... I would say that they are actually better than they look in the photos.

We rented both units in this building for 6 people and there was more than enough room for everyone.

Thanks

The house is charming, clean, well-maintained, and the location is perfect a block from the beach and boardwalk. We had the beach to ourselves for most of the week.

The downside is the rental is advertised as a two bedroom and there is, in fact, no separate bedrooms! You occupy one half of the first floor of the house. One bed is in the dining area next to the open kitchen. The remainder of the floor is separated by a set of sliding doors...so there is really no privacy, especially as in my case, when you have kids. The beds in the open area are a hard futon and a roll out bed, which were not very comfortable. My kids chose to use an air mattress instead. Also, bear in mind that you do not have any parking, so you have to cruise the sorrounding streets to find a spot and then note when you have to move the car for street cleaning or school hours.
