Paul and his place were both great. You couldn't ask for a more friendly and accommodating host. I had privacy when I needed it, and company when I wanted it. It didn't take long for me to get settled in and feel right at home. And the location was great. The neighborhood was quiet and serene. I came in town for business with the hopes of getting some surfing in. The house was just a couple miles from my office in Marina Del Rey, and quick drive to all the South Bay beaches. And all the bars and restaurants in Venice were just a short bike ride away as well. Or if you just want to hang out and relax, the house and yard are great for that too. Next time I need a place to stay in LA, this is the first place I'll be checking.
