The home is lovely inside and out. Coming from the PNW, we don't get to keep nice things outside, so having the Balinese style day bed in the backyard was a treat for reading & working on the laptop as needed during our stay. An unexpected surprise worth noting for others, was the amount of condiments and seasonings available for us to spice up our homemade dishes. With Whole Foods at the end of the street, we never went without. Oh, and the unique art & decor, plus the use of the two beach cruiser bikes totally made the *over our budget* experience worthwhile (one morning we cycled to Venice Beach and swam in the surf before breakfast!) We could have done without the neighbor's construction noise at 7:30am on the weekend, but that's not this owner's fault. Have already recommended this place to friends.
