Mary was a nice, accesible and helpful host. The house is situated in a pleasant neighbourhood and close to Venice Beach if you have a car.
The house is nice and well equipped (the kitchen has everything you can possibily need), but a bit dark and cold (we needed to turn on the light in the living room even in the day). We had lovely breakfasts in the yard. It's comfortable for 4 persons maximum (we were a group of 6 and two persons slept in the living room).
I would recommend it for those travelling in smaller groups and those who don't plan to stay inside a lot.
