Our experience was beyond amazing from start to finish. Alex was such a gracious, communicative, caring and thoughtful host! The place was the most perfect, chill and beautiful oasis I was hoping for when I booked it. I have always thought that great directors & producers in Hollywood get that way from having incredible and careful attention to detail and Alex has this in spades! To list all the details we loved would fill up more space then anyone cares to read... but every nook & cranny of the house, guesthouse and pool area was exquisitely done and beautifully displayed. My daughters particularly loved picking lemons & passionfruit, while my favorite detail was the outdoor shower and cool artsy objects/pictures everywhere. And the location... walking distance to awesome restaurants, shops & beach made it so easy given the giant sprawl that is LA. Some of the functions to control the pool, music, etc.. are slightly complicated but with Alex's thoughtful detailed descriptions - it was not an issue. I highly recommend this place to anyone and thank Alex for such a lovely stay in Venice!
