We had 10 adults (five couples) stay at Philip's house in Venice Beach. It was amazing! We were there for four nights for a 30th birthday. The house is beautiful and in an amazing spot. Close to the beach, shopping, restaurants, and anything else you could want. It's near freeways, so getting to other parts of LA is a breeze (well... as much of a breeze as you can hope for with LA traffic).
Philip was a fantastic host. Check-in was easy and personal, and he was flexible on checkout times. He responded to any questions within an hour, and if anything came up, he took care of it immediately.
I would definitely stay with him again.
