Shawn was an excellent host and the house is truly beautiful. My party of 5 had more than enough room in the spacious and perfectly located home close to many great places to visit. Venice beach is only a 15 minute drive away and everywhere else was easy to get to. There are many great restaurants, shopping and bars nearby. The backyard was huge and had a massive patio set under a gazebo as well as a hot tub. Shawn was out of town during our stay so his friend Ricki helped us with getting to the house and making sure everything was going well for our stay. Ricki was great showing us around the house and was super laid back/personable. We were provided more than enough towels for the hot tub/shower. All over the house there are notes that assist you with several things throughout the home. The cat that stays at the house was super friendly and loving, which made our stay feel very homey. This was my first airbnb experience and I am impressed at how effortless it can be to stay at a beautiful house like this. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking to stay in LA!
