The host was friendly and communicate, with quick and clear reasonable rules as well as instructions. When we checked in I was nervous because the road (like every place in CA) was packed with cars, but there's a driveway that was easy for us to access at all times and we were never blocked in or without parking.
We enjoyed a day at the beach, the Getty, Santa Monica Pier, LA Zoo and the Hollywood Bowl. There's nice restaurants near the house and the neighborhood wasn't too noisey. We sleep with a sound machine anyway, so any noises made were drowned out. We were a half hour from everything and thats saying something for LA. When we're ready for another get away we will happily stay there again!
