Marilyn is such a wonderful and thoughtful host. I had a tremendously pleasant stay. Everything was just as described. I really appreciated Marilyn's google map with recommendations for food and coffee. The location is ideal for a car free experience - extremely walkable (and bike-rideable) to some of the best restaurants in the area - not only along Venice Beach and Santa Monica, but also along Abbot Kinney Blvd and Rose Avenue. If you love plants, the succulent garden in the patio area is truly an oasis. I would highly recommend Marilyn's and would stay here again!
