June's house is very much 'home from home' and for us the perfect base to see LA. We had booked to stay there at the start of our holiday for 3 nights to chill out and get over the jet lag and it worked perfectly. Set back in the residential streets between Santa Monica and Venice Beach, you are about a 10 minute walk from the shops and restaurants on Main Street and about 20 minutes from the beach. We actually walked to Santa Monica Pier one evening for dinner, which only took us 35 minutes. We arrived on a Thursday from the UK at 1pm into LAX and got an Uber for $28 to June's house. The return Uber on a Sunday morning was $14. On our first full day we hired bikes to ride along the beach, grabbed lunch at Perry's, a beach side cafe and then spent the afternoon on the beach & swimming. On our second day, we took the DayinLA.com tour recommended by June, which was great at taking us to all the main 'tick box' tourist spots in LA and was good value for money. Sadly we didn't get to meet June as she was away for a few days vacation but were very well looked after by her co-host Mia and June had left plenty of maps and tourist info about where to eat and visit. We had the down stairs bedroom with private bathroom across the hall, which were both large and nicely furnished - the bed was so comfortable, my wife slept for 13 hours and didn't suffer any jet lag! The kitchen and dinning area are comfortable too and once we had been shown round, we were happy to take breakfast ourselves in our own time. We really enjoyed our stay in Junes house and not in a soulless hotel in Santa Monica.
