Chance and Mariana were really nice hosts. I barely saw them and I tried to make myself as invisible as I could...which was a perfect setup. :) The location is awesome...less than a 10 min walk to Venice Beach/Boardwalk. The accommodation was great...clean, simple and quiet, which was perfect for me. The neighbor's dog did keep me up one night, but that is out of the hosts' control. Overall: great experience and I would stay there again if I were to stay the in Venice area as a solo traveler.
