Had a wonderful stay at Valerie's!! Great room and host!
The house is well located in a quiet residential neighbourhood set beside Marina del Rey, well located for the cafes, restaurants, yoga classes and shops on Abbott Kinney and surrounding area and very close to Venice Beach. We had a car and parking was no problem. During our stay we made full use of the bicycles for cycling around Venice and Santa Monica - a great way of getting around and seeing the coast.
The house itself is wonderful. Lovely open plan living and the bedroom and bathroom are fresh, bright and airy. Walk in shower has great water pressure and heat. Great closet space and hangers. There is air con and mosquito nets on windows so had no issues with being too hot or cold. Bed was comfortable. Small fridge in the bedroom was ideal for storing cold water. Really couldn't fault the room and we enjoyed staying there.
Valerie greeted us on arrival and otherwise she left us to it with her contact details should we need them. We are very independent so this suited us. Valerie had very nicely left us not only towels etc but also bathrobes, slippers and water, juice and snacks which was a lovely touch. Loved Leftie the cat.
Other than morning coffee we didn't cook but should you need to the kitchen was well equipped.
All in all Valerie has a wonderful home, it's a great place to use as a base and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay.
