Patrick was very easy to deal with, he was thorough, attentive and very responsive. He made the booking and the pre-planning to our weekend stay very comfortable, and his mother Martha was equally helpful, friendly and attentive during our stay. Even though we did not meet Patrick and Cristina in person, I can tell they are great hosts!
With regards to the unit itself, it was just as described and the photos very accurate; overall a SPACIOUS, CLEAN and PRIVATE home. The parking was ample, as was the water pressure and hot water and the kitchen well stocked with everything you need (sorry these things matter to me)! We loved the residential feel of the neighborhood, and the quietness of the guest home. This is a hidden gem in an awesome part of West L.A. Take the beach cruisers Patrick provides down to Abbot Kenney Blvd for good eating, drinking, and shopping. The laid back, sometimes slightly pretentious vibe of Venice beats the hustle and bustle of Santa Monica or other nearby concrete jungles hands down. Check out the tree canopy-lined streets of Venice and the warmth of this guest house next time you are in Los Angeles... LAX, Hollywood, Downtown and the Beaches are a stone's throw away!
