I loved everything about my stay with Ines - the house and the room are truly charming with quaint decorations and lots of light; the neighborhood is very safe and is just a bike ride away from Marina del Rey, Venice and Santa Monica. Ines herself is a truly wonderful host who radiates warmth and is very generous and supportive. She was always ready to answer any questions about the house and the area and was a delight to talk to. She has a great sense of humor and warm energy and even helped me practice my German. In many ways staying at Ines's place made my summer and I can't recommend her highly enough!
