I spent two nights at Kendell’s place in Venice. It was a fantastic stay - great location (right around the corner from Abbott Kinney and Main Street), great space (a really comfortable 2-bedroom with a big living room and a yard area shared with Kendell’s main house), and a great host (Kendell wound up personally letting me in and giving us some leeway on the check-out time). I would definitely stay there again the next time I pass through LA.
