We had an amazing experience staying at the Mountain Beach House. Dorothy is a very accommodating host and went out of her way to make myself and two friends feel welcome throughout the duration of our visit. The suite itself is spacious and clean, and the bathroom is fantastic when you're traveling with multiple guests! There were small soaps, shampoos, toiletries, bath and beach towels as well as plenty of books and movies available for our use. She has off-street garage parking that is incredibly reasonable and made the hassle to parking so much easier. This was my first trip to the Los Angeles area, and I can confidently say that if I ever return, I would not stay anywhere else. Dorothy is just about the sweetest lady you will ever meet, and I cannot wait to visit her again in the future!

The suite is just steps from Venice Beach. The views from the rooftop deck are great! Some recommendations for first time guests:
1. If you're trying to get to downtown Los Angeles without hitting too much traffic, try taking the Metro Expo Line that runs from downtown Santa Monica. It's only $1.75 one way!
2. FigTree Cafe has great breakfast that is half off from 8 AM - 9 AM.
3. If you're in the mood for brunch, try Bru's Wiffle in Santa Monica. Amazing chicken and waffles!
4. If you like to dance, check out the Pink Elephant in Santa Monica. You will NOT be disappointed.
