I absolutely loved this apt and hope it is available the next time we visit LA. it accommodated our entire family, and we felt welcome and at home. There were plenty of restaurants nearby, grocery close enough, and transportation (train). Parking was not convenient in the evenibg, but that is expected in downtown LA and has NOTHING to do with the apt itself, just our poor planning. 5stars

What are some of the general tips for travellers to Central Coast California during the COVID-19 outbreak?
The COVID-19 pandemic has brought about significant changes to how we travel. If you're flying to Central Coast California, the following tips will help you navigate these new challenges and rules:
  • Before committing to anything, see if any travel restrictions or bans apply — in both your origin and destination. Get up-to-date information by reviewing government and airport websites.
  • Wear a face mask during airport screening. A TSA officer will require you to temporarily lower your mask for identification purposes.
  • Rather than handing a TSA employee your boarding pass, position it directly on the scanner yourself. Once that's done, hold it up for inspection.
  • You can now take one container of hand sanitizer up to 12 oz (350 ml) in your carry-on bag. You'll have to remove it for X-ray scanning.
  • Empty your personal items from your pockets, like your phone and wallet, and put them in your carry-on instead of the bins. This will minimize handling during the screening process.
  • If you're planning to take food through the screening checkpoint, place it in a clear plastic bag and then into a scanning bin. This lessens the likelihood that a TSA employee will need to touch your carry-on bag or food container for closer inspection.
