Marie was very responsive via text/email and met us upon our arrival. Parking behind the house is an added plus for a location like this. Best location for access to fabulous Abbot Kinney, Venice beach and neighboring Santa Monica. Marie is a great host - knowledgeable of the area, super friendly and accommodated all our request - couldn't ask for more. The home is spacious, comfortable and meets our needs of two adults and two teens. Will definitely return if travel brings us this direction.
