Tony and his wife were excellent hosts, friendly, warm, and very attentive to our needs. Everything was exactly as advertised--maybe even better. The cottage seemed slightly larger in real life than it did in the photo, which was a pleasant surprise. I made some newbie mistakes as this was my first Airbnb experience, but Tony was very understanding and we worked it all out really easily. Good location within walking distance of restaurants. (Right, nobody walks in L.A., but this is Venice.) Bonus: being a lesbian couple was a complete non-issue without a hint of awkwardness. I'd stay here again anytime.
