Staying at Darlene’s place made us feel like we were staying with family members who treat us like VIPs! From the freshly baked banana bread on our first day to the bathroom being stocked with all of the little things that travelers can sometimes forget to pack (makeup wipes, razors, q-tips, etc) - we felt completely at home. Darlene is such a warm host and makes herself available to you for anything that may come up during your stay. We enjoyed meeting her and her adorable dogs on the patio on our second day.
The place looks exactly like as pictured. We loved all of the thoughtful touches - there was even a beach bag packed with towels and a cooler in case we wanted to go to the beach. Darlene has really thought of everything! The bed was super comfortable and it’s very quiet at night. You can’t beat the location - very close to 3rd Street Promenade, Venice Beach, and the airport - and there was always plenty of street parking.
We can’t recommend Darlene’s place enough!
