Griselda and Alex are EXCEPTIONAL hosts. The house and backyard are beautiful, warm and inviting. The bed is ridiculously comfortable! The real gems, however, are Gri and Alex. I felt like I was staying with a favorite aunt and uncle. They were beyond accommodating but never overbearing. In fact, I was unable to partake in their famous breakfast spread, due to food intolerances, a lot of food intolerances, but that did not deter Gri and Alex! From amazing authentic Venezuelan Arepas (which I need the recipe for) to delicious raw zucchini pasta (of which the leftovers Gri sent with me on the plane ride home!) they went above and beyond to make me feel like I wasn't missing out.

The room and bathroom offer great privacy and I felt right at home. It is a short walk to Whole Foods and Venice Beach gems like Cafe Gratitude and Moon Juice (Alex even hand drew me a map so I could get around easily). The beach is about 15 minutes away on foot and you get the joy of walking through the famous, eclectic and eccentric Venice Canals.

Do not hesitate to stay here! I know I won't as I travel to Venice Beach often and will certainly stay here in the future.

RIP beautiful Nala
