We had such a great experience at Alix's place! We had a very early flight into LAX and a very late flight out, and she let us leave our bags way before check in and way before check out for convenience. She also let us take a couple bikes during those times so we could explore. The location is truly wonderful; so close to Abbot Kinney, the Venice Canals, the Boardwalk, and Santa Monica's Main St. We stayed for 3 days and never once wished we had a car, there was so much to see right there. The Whole Foods is conveniently located and great for stocking the mini fridge with snacks (they also have an amazing breakfast). Lots of great food and coffee close by, too.

The room itself was a great size for the two of us, and the bed was super comfy and big. Everything was clean and ready for us at check-in time. Alix's dog, Penny, is so sweet and was usually on the front porch when we would come in and out-- we loved saying hi and petting her! This place is a wonderful value, and we would stay here again in a heartbeat.
