I've had so many good Airbnb-experiences, but staying at the Mountain Beach House Suite is by far the best!

The room is huge, super comfy and decorated with a such a nice attention to detail: a great selection of products in the bathroom, a great movie collection and super cute mini-bookshelf for mini-books in the bathroom. And a real luxury with both a balcony, and access to the great roof terrace.

Dorothy is also the best host i've encountered. She's labeled "Super host" here at Airbnb, and for good reason. So kind and helpful, and just a great person to talk to! We felt during the whole stay that she really cared about our experience, and wanted us to have a great time.

If you're thinking "Hmm the place looks great, but I'm not sure about staying in somebody's home while they're there" - don't worry about it! You really feel that you have your own space when you're upstairs in the big suite, and talking Dorothy and Dan in the living room from time to time just added to to the experience.

The location is perfect if you want to stay in Venice and enjoy the ocean, but still be close to restaurants, bars and shops. Last time I stayed in Santa Monica, but I think Venice is so much more fun.

I'll tell anybody who's thinking of going to LA - "before anything else - look up the Mountain Beach House Suite!".
