Christine was very helpful and made sure prior and during our stay that everything was working out for us. My co-worker and I had booked a different place but the host had to cancel at the last minute. We consider ourself lucky we found Christine's place and it turned out to be even better than expected.
The house is lovely and the neighborhood peaceful. We were in town for work and I can only say than I regret we had such a busy schedule and didn't get to enjoy the place more. Will recommend Christine as a host as well as anyone who would like to spend some time in LA. Venice Beach is only a quick 20 minutes drive away and there are plenty of stores not far. My only regret is that we didn't get to enjoy the pool because it was too cold outside, but i can only imagine how great it must be during the summer.
The house is large and spacious and uncluttered and with the addition of the garden, it is easy to find a quiet place to hang out and relax.
