Paul’s house is an excellent place to stay. The house is so comfortably furnished and with so many extra touches provided by Paul, like fresh flowers on the table and water bottles in the refrigerator, that it feel s like a welcoming home, rather than just aplace to stay. We initially booked for 8 days and enjoyed the house and location so much that we extended for another 3 days. Paul was super accommodating in letting us make the changes to our booking. The location is perfect, whether you want to visit Santa Monica, Beverly Hills or LA downtown, or just rest and relax at home. Whole food is a 5 minute walk in one direction, Ralph’s 8 minutes in the opposite direction, and a Starbucks in both directions. A Big Blue bus route passes close to the house and will get you to Sant Monica one way or Westwood (well worth a visit) in the other, and crosses the light rail line which will take you into Downtown LA. The Mar Vista area is very walkable with lots of pretty tree lined residential streets to explore, and when you are done with that try sitting out in Paul’s beautifully maintained back yard with a relaxing glass of wine while your partner cooks up a perfect dinner on the excellent BBQ. This is an experience not to be missed.
