Amelia was a great host with a beautiful home in the heart of Venice Beach! We requested to book a few days before our trip and she approved promptly, and all of our communication up until check in was very clear. Our arrival time and check out time was a bit uncertain, so it was great that Amelia was flexible and open to us keeping in touch with her as our plans evolved.
When we checked in she welcomed us with tea and even roasted lettuce (I think?) - she is a chef! Her dog Ray Charles is also lovely. Our room was cozy and as advertised - perfect for one night. Amelia had thoughtfully written us a welcome note and left us fruit and water in our room.
Amelia is a great conversationalist and we enjoyed connecting with her albeit briefly. She also made coffee the next morning and was flexible with our check out time - which we really appreciated! Always great to stay with locals and learn about them and the history of their neighborhoods. Recommended!
