Daniel Goodman was an out-of-this-world host. We kept in contact prior to my arrival and he was kind enough to give us directions to the house since Google and Apple Maps tend to direct people the wrong way. Daniel is a very good communicator and was transparent in his communication regarding the house.

Check-in was super simple. Once I had arrived, Daniel stopped by to greet my friends and I. He gave us a quick tour of the house and provided us "tips n tricks" for using certain things such as the kayaks, etc if we wanted to. He had let me know that if I needed anything to feel free to call him during our stay.

As for the house itself, it was immaculate upon arriving. The house is located in a very historic part of Venice Beach and my friends and I couldn't even ask more from it. The backyard was super perfect for an all day BBQ. There was plenty of room in the back to lounge or to have drinks and converse. The cool thing about the backyard is the lighting. Under the nice Autumn night, the light helps illuminate the house and backyard which makes it a very pretty sight for those that are in the canal on their kayaks or walking around the canal.

The house itself was big enough for 8 grown men to sleep. It was spacious and none of my friends and I had issues with the bed, bathrooms, etc. Each room was spacious and it felt like a home away from home.

The kitchen was well equipped to cook full dinners and meals if needed. They had a functional dishwasher so it would make it easier to wash dishes if needed.

Moreover, I can't believe the view and the location of this house. It was perfect! A lot of people would walk by next to the canals and would chat with us when we were in the backyard. A lot of friendly people in the neighborhood and those that visit. The house is a few blocks from the beach and the house had beach cruisers that we had used to cruise down the beach.

Lastly, I wanted to thank Daniel for being a great host. I would recommend this property to those that would like to have a house close to the beach but away from the madness.
