My friends and I were traveling from San Francisco to LA and had to find a place to stay fast. Luckily for us, Leigh and Stephanie's place was still available for those 3 days. They told us later they are usually booked solid for several month out, we just got lucky. Their pictures looked great but who knows how something will turn out when you actually see it. The pictures were very accurate. Their place was very clean, very comfortable and perfect place to stay. The living room is huge. The bedrooms are both clean and comfortable. I loved the little deck out back and they provided a parking space in the gated driveway. This was such a fun house to stay in. The kitchen is large and was so nice to have. I never met Stephanie but Leigh (and his dogs) was very personable and friendly. I texted him during our drive to let him know we'd get in late and when we arrived we found a bottle of wine on the counter to help us de-stress after such a long trip. If you need a clean, liveable place to stay in Venice Beach area and if you are clean and respectful yourselves then this is the place. It would be a great house for a small family as well. The house is about a 15 min walk to the beach and about a 5-10 min walk to a very nice Whole Foods grocery store. Leigh also guided us to a very busy, very nice street (Abbott something) that was near the beach as well with lots of shops and restaurants. This place was more than we could have hoped for and a great price at $150 per night. I am extremely happy with this place and would absolutely stay again.
