Wow. Erin really deserves the title of super host! We have stayed in Airbnb properties all around the world (Many in the USA, Germany, Sri Lanka, and Indonesia) and she was by far the most outstanding host we have had. She greeted us personally and showed us around the house. On the counter for us was a little gift basket with a bottle of wine and some snacks which were great because we were hungry after a long day of travel.
The house style is quintessentially Venice CA. It's a modern house set in the back of the property. The outside spaces seamless blend with the inside spaces to create a relaxed yet hip vibe. The house is decorated with a charming mix of antiques and modern furniture. The layout of the house is really interesting. The downstairs has the kitchen, dining room, bathroom and a small seating area that opens up to a larger seating area outside. The second floor is the living room, another bathroom, and two bedrooms. The the third floor has a loft bedroom and then opens out to the roof deck. We caught sunset up there and it was just beautiful.
The beds were soft and comfortable. The kitchen was stocked up coffee, and spices. We didn't end up cooking but there were plenty of pots and pans. The TV had Netflix and the WIFI signal was good. The house is walking distance to Whole Foods and great park on Ozone. We didn't walk to it but Abbott Kinney (main street in Venice with shops and restaurants) is also quite close. We were able get a very cheap ride on Uber to quickly reach that area.
I would absolutely return to stay at Erin's place again. Thank you again for being such a welcoming host.
