Zack let us check in as early as we wished and even though he could not be there because he was at work, his roommate let us in and made us feel welcome. Their cat Bob is extremely friendly and so cute! The place is in a great location. Super close to Venice Beach and Santa Monica Beach (we took a bus for $1). We had breakfast in a really cute place within walking distance recommended by the hosts. Concerning it is a place owned by two guys, it was very clean and nicely decorated. We were very happy with our one night stay and would definitely recommend this place!
