Rory and his wife are amazing! I received a welcoming text as I was landing at LAX with address & cross streets. Rory went out of his way to offer me economic travel options, uber, & uber share. They also agreed to let me come by early and drop my luggage off so I could spend some time at the beach before 3pm. Tea was offered upon arrival, plus a quick orientation to the neighborhood… coffee shops, diners, LA shopping, the learning garden & streets to the beautiful ocean. This location was awesome, a bike was offered and very handy… everything is within minutes of one another. I felt very safe, streets are well marked and easy to get where you are going. Room was clean, comfortable and I slept like a baby. The couple really went above and beyond to ensure my time there was spent in leisure and comfort. Asked me how my days were & if there was anything I needed… at the very end I lost my phone charger & my phone died-- Rory saved the day by offering me his to use for a moment while my uber was in route to his place. (they also let me keep my luggage at their pad, while I enjoyed my last full day in Venice, 10pm) I cut it kinda close heading back to the airport...
