We had a wonderful stay! Great room, comfortable bed, all amenities provided. Nika and Austin were wonderful hosts. Also loved their pets--Winston the cat and Carthage the dog are friends and play together, just like the apocalyptic scenario predicted by Bill Murray's character in Ghostbusters. The inclusion of bike rental in the cost of the room is also a wonderful perk--Venice beach is prime biking territory and the cost of rental elsewhere is $10 an hour. The place is so close to the beach you can leave all your stuff there and go swimming worry free. The house itself is lovely and is even the site of an interesting historical event--something to ask Nika and Austin when you get there.
