Mary met us at the condo and very quickly made us feel welcome. She provided an overview of the location complete with a review of parking, resources (bikes, chairs, boards, pool, etc.) and accommodations. Communication was great throughout the planning and actual visit.

Mary's condo was comfortable with plenty of space. Everything was provided, so we didn't have to stock anything. If we came up short on something we should have brought, no worries, it was already there. Mornings consisted of coffee on the patio followed by a short walk to any one of a number of local breakfast spots. There is a small grocery store / deli only a block away if you do manage to forget something or need some stuff for the fridge.

The location is walking distance from everything, and we only used the car to go back and forth from work or on a few planned trips (Venice, Malibu, Pasadena). A typical evening would involve grabbing the bikes and riding past Hermosa and Manhattan Piers with the requisite stops for food and beverages along the way.

Overall, we had a great experience with the host, location, resources & accommodations and wouldn't hesitate to contact Mary in the future.
