I wanted to write this review ever since I saw Marilyn in front of the patio door.
She’s an amazing hostess and her house is exquisite, but first things first:
Yes, it’s an open bedroom -as it says clearly on the house descriptions-, but it feels private since Marilyn respects your spaces (which, BTW, are actually private: a restroom at your floor, a bathroom for yourself upstairs).
Yes, there are rules you need to follow since you’re staying in someone else’s home. Silence at determined areas makes total sense for me, and removing my shoes? Sure, why not. Where I come from, it’s called respect.
The house is perfect if you are traveling alone and want to stay in this great spot in LA. Not only Venice is well connected to anywhere, the house is three blocks away from the famous Venice sign, and therefore, pretty close to the beach.
The neighborhood is full of amazing places to eat and drink, I specially recommend Tacos por favor. It’s literally two steps away.
Very important: it has a private garage! That’s great, specially in LA, where parking can be an inconvenience (an expensive one!).
The cats are great.
And Marilyn was a lovely roommate. Warm, helpful, nice, with exquisite taste for design and aesthetics.
I would love to comeback, this was an amazing and complete experience and I would recommend it to everyone of you.
