First, we should fess up that we are also hosts, so we have a trained eye and high expectations when we travel and stay with other hosts. Our stay at Owen & Mariana's place did not disappoint - we thoroughly enjoyed it!
The unit was very conveniently located near our son's place, and a short walk to Marina Del Rey, local beaches, and of course excellent dining & shopping in MDR, Culver City, Venice & beyond.
The kitchen was well-stocked and we used it to enjoy our Thanksgiving leftovers for another meal. We loved the decor inside & out, and really enjoyed the privacy of the yard, including the multiple seatings areas & hammock, w/our adult kids. The citrus looks just about ready to drop off the tree.
We also picked up & read a few books from the well-stocked library, for a nice change. Lastly, we used the bikes quite a bit to get around town quickly.
In short, excellent all around, we will not hesitate to stay with Owen & Mariana again! You should too.
