Dennis is an excellent host and his place is super cool! The location is great! We had a rental car so it was very easy to get to Venice and Santa Monica Pier. Even without a rental car, it would be a quick Uber or bus ride. It's about a 25-30 min drive to Universal Studios. We loved our breakfast at Rockenwagner Bakery. It's only a 3 minute walk up the street. They have great coffee, but Dennis also supplied plenty of pods for the Keurig! Dennis's place will be on my radar for my next trip to LA.
