We stayed for a couple of days at Barbara & Katy's place and now wish it had been longer. The place is a really good size and bright and airy. It is really well decorated and has everything you need for a comfortable stay.
The area feels very safe and the Venice Beach zone has a great vibe.
Katy was a great host being easy to contact and giving clear instructions for us to access the property and use the facilities. I highly recommend staying here whilst visiting LA.
