Dee and her home were just fantastic!! I was in town for my son's college graduation ceremony, and wanted to be close to fun things to do while my son was celebrating with friends...this was a short vacation for me as well. I was pleased to find that Dee's place was just as described and as shown in the photos - pretty, clean, cozy and in a nice, manicured neighborhood. I felt safe to venture out on a beautiful walk to Ralph's grocery (Kroger), Ross department store, Starbucks, and to meet a friend for brunch at the historical Pann's Diner...all within ten minutes! My first Friday there I had dinner at - appropriately - T.G.I. Friday's. When I needed transportation by car, Dee was very helpful with suggesting options and downloading the Lyft app, which showed me about ten drivers within about a ten mile radius - SO CONVENIENT! Dee and I quickly bonded, sharing MANY things in common, and while my son spent the day Sunday with other family and because I was fortunate enough she had the time, Dee and I spent the day at Venice Beach - again, about a ten minute, absolutely BEAUTIFUL drive away, through Playa Vista and Marina Del Rey (the new home of MANY of the most famous start-ups, including Google, Snap-Chat and Dollar Shave Club!!)...I guess 10 is the lucky number here! Venice Beach (and Dee!) was BUSTLING with vibrant activity, with something for everyone - what a GREAT way to end my visit there in California!! I feel I have a friend for life in Dee (what a sweetheart), and I am SO VERY GRATEFUL to her for helping make my stay in her lovely home so wonderful. I highly recommend her accomodations whether you're in town for a lengthy business trip or a relaxing vacation or fun event...an EXCELLENT value! Oh! - and the pool and her neighbors were just as great! Thank you, again, Dee!!!
