Mark was a great host. Caring and great communication. Helped with good restaurant recommendations and tips for viewing 4th of July fireworks, for example. We loved the quiet location for bike riding and ocean access. I missed not having an ice maker but that was minor and my only negative comment so that means we were very, very pleased. He provided ample coffee pods and even a bottle of wine. We felt like valued guests. Thank you, Mark

No surprises here! The property is exactly as pictured :) You walk in to the living room / kitchen area, then pass thru the bathroom area into the bedroom. The living room is comfortable. The kitchen has all the necessary items to cook your own meals if you choose to. I liked that the bathroom sink was a separate area from the toilet/shower area. The bedroom had plenty of room and closet space. The water feature just outside the bedroom doors to the patio was a nice touch. One thing to be aware of is that the unit does not have its own climate controls, they are in the host's unit (the host lives upstairs) - a quick text message was all it took to have the temp set to what worked for me. Also, just the nature of the space, because it is in the lower portion of a townhouse style unit, you don't get a lot of natural light because of how close the buildings are to each other. All in all, I had a great stay and would stay here again as well as recommend it to anyone looking for this type of rental in this area.

This is a beautiful property in a great location! The owner was very responsive and helpful. It was great to be able to bring our Dog with us, the park strip behind the unit was perfect for the quick walks with our Dog and the close proximity to the beach was amazing.We will certainly book here again when we are in the area!!

First let me say I own a property and use VRBO. And I grew up a couple of towns over. Location is convenient to silver strand, ocean, main strand, Venice Beach and everything the South Bay has to offer. It’s a small comfy first floor condo . Comfy bed and couch. Nice small kitchen. No dishwasher, half size refrigerator. It’s decked out with most of the cooking items I needed. Great coffee maker and coffee pods were provided. Which was really nice. The unit has air conditioning included throughout the whole building. The unit has access to a really nice patio with a water feature that is for the whole building. The unit has a parking spot which fit my Subaru Outback, but it’s not going to fit any vehicle larger than that. The owner was very nice, and lives in the building. He greeted us upon arrival even though it was late at night, and there was a nice welcoming form letter. The book of information inside is great for WiFi and access codes. The unit has a physical key entry , not an electronic secret code entry. The front door is glass and it has a sturdy front screen door. The rear french doors are glass as well that lead to the water feature patio. The unit was clean, but has a mold/mildew smell in the cabinet to the left of the closet in the bedroom. The unit is dark without the lights on, there are small windows on the outside wall. There is a fan and a ceiling fan in the bedroom. There are security cameras all around the outside of the building. When booking the unit there is no refund for any reason, and I needed to due to job. Upon arrival the owner notified us that one of the days we would be without power due to city maintenance. But if there is no electrical then nothing works in the whole unit. No hot shower. I mean nothing. And the power was off from the morning for about 6 hours. The owner did end up refunding half of the day cost for us. Which I really appreciated. Then the other item was that a person came right up to the glass door and jiggled the door handle to apparently come in. The first time I blew it off. The second time my daughter and I were watching TV and a person came up and jiggled the glass door handle and not shyly and then stood there for a good minute. We could see the shadow of a person through the glass door. I did not open it. I asked the owner was that you? He said, no. And then said Bizarre. We packed up and left a day early. The owner did end up refunding us that last night stay. Which I appreciated.
