I loved the location of this little apartment: it was so close to the lagoon, bike path, and beach. It's especially nice that it backs onto open space so that, when sitting in the yard, you have a sense of privacy. And it is surprisingly (amazingly, really) quiet, given its proximity to LAX. The apartment is charming and comfortable with almost everything needed for a weekend or long weekend break. Note, however, that the apartment does not have laundry facilities--which is probably not insurmountable--however, the lack of an iron and ironing board is unfortunate for those whose clothes have been crushed in a suitcase during a transcontinental flight. Finding a parking spot--particularly one where you can park your vehicle overnight--is quite challenging. However, this is offset by the proximity to the lovely restaurants in Playa Del Rey which are a short walk from the apartment.
