Beautiful Condo by Beach and Mountains

For our family, this incredible home was the perfect place to celebrate the holidays as well as provide a home-base for us in the LA area as we spent time with family, friends and visited the tourist spots! This is an incredible home to invite friends and family in for dinner. We enjoyed cooking in the amazing kitchen and the open space while the upstairs bedrooms provided privacy and a place for "travel clutter". Our family walked to the beach and enjoyed the beautiful view of the mountains. We found the homeowner and her staff to be the best we have had in our stays in home rentals. We were fascinated at the similarities of our tastes, style and practical needs. The home was perfect for our family! We look forward to visiting this home again.

We rented the apartment at late notice for 5 weeks during July/August. It is the owners own home. It is comfortable and spacious and homely. It is set out over 2 floors and feel like a house. It is elegantly furnished with antiques and collectables. It was nice and clean and the owner arranged for their own cleaner to come in once a week. ( This is an extra) It has views to Temescal Canyon. It has a cooks kitchen with lots of interesting cooking utensils. I was concerned that it might be noisy as it was on Sunset but it was at the very back of the building and not noisy at all.The building itself is a bit unusual in the fact that it doesn't have a main entrance and you enter through the car park and is probably of early 70's design. The best thing is that it is in a fabulous location right in the centre of the Palisades and great for easy walking distance to the all the shops and a 5 minutes drive to the beach. You could also walk to Temescal- but we preferred to do the 5 minute drive.We enjoyed ourselves at the Sunday Farmers market and spent time mooching about hitting the frozen yogurt shop, Starbucks and Gelsons.

The outside space is a bit limited to 2 small terraces but there is a pool and a pool area. It is clean but it is a bit concrete in design and overlooked by the other apartments.

I would recommend this as a great holiday choice to stay in Los Angeles if you want to dip in now and again but not be right in the heart of LA.
