Has got to be the best place to stay in the area! A beautiful scenic 45-minute walk to Venice Beach, a 10-15 minute ride from the airport, and one of the chillest, calmest backyards I've ever been to. Didn't get to use the fire pit (rained for a few days) but the sauna and jacuzzi were great! Paul is a very accommodating host and had everything setup as promised when I arrived. He's also a light sleeper, so just remember to close the doors gently between 1 am and 6 am. His dog Champ might look big but was surprisingly calm, not a bother at all and listens very well; not sure I heard him bark at all during my 1-week stay, and I'm not a fan of dogs.
Will definitely be staying here again (if it's not completely booked) when I return in August!
