Pam was a great host. She was there to greet us and take us through everything and then immediately available on the phone if we had any questions.

The house was as impressive as it looks in the photos and was very clean and modern with all the amenities you could need. We stayed for 5 nights in July and it was perfect for our family of 5 (inc 14, 12 and 4 year old kids). Be advised that if you are taking your kids Pam's place is a spotless adult type house that's also suitable for well behaved (non-messy) kids.

There are plenty of shops and restaurants within walking distance and you are only a short car/Uber ride from Abbot Kinney, Venice Beach, Santa Monica etc so the location is excellent.

There is another house attached but Pam had promised us exclusive use of the lovely pool on booking and was good to her word, despite there being guests next door who could potentially access it. You may not be as bothered as us but we wanted privacy to lie around all day with the kids as this was a lazy stage of a longer holiday touring the States. The garden gets the sun for nearly all of the day, but also has shady bits, so is perfect for relaxing in the California sunshine.

Only problem during our stay was unreliable wifi during the day but Pam had an engineer in trying to fix the problem whilst we were there so I'm sure it's only a temporary issue.

Overall, a fantastic stay and a highly recommended Airbnb. Thank you Pam.
