Griselda and Alex have a lovely and serene house and garden, made so by Griselda's excellent design sense and the art they have displayed throughout the house. The guestroom was large and the bed comfortable, and the private bath is just a step across the hall. The location is terrific: walking distance to the beach, the trendy cafes and shops on Albert Kinney Blvd., the Whole Foods, and the Rose Ave. restaurants and shops. It's a short drive to the Getty and not that far from LAX. You're close to everything, but removed from the noise and craziness of the Venice boardwalk. The best part of staying there was meeting Griselda and Alex. They couldn't have been more gracious and welcoming to me, and I so enjoyed getting to sit and talk with them. They are very interesting, cultured, and thoughtful people, and a great example of why it's more fun to do airbandb than to stay in an impersonal hotel. I can't think of anything their place lacked that would make guests more comfortable. Sweet dog, too.
