My friends & I had a wonderful stay at Mary's place. She's super sweet, very quick in answering emails and a great host. Everything worked out perfectly, her daughter lives in the same house which makes things easy. The location of the apartment is great. 10min down to Venice Beach and not far from Santa Monica. The apartment is very spacious, everything is new and clean and the huge yard in the back is perfect if you want to chill. There is also a brand new, perfectly equipped kitchen you can use and Mary provides all the basics (olive oil, salt & peper, cereal, milk). We were very pleased with our stay and would definitely go back.
