Shelley's place is in a great location not far from Venice and Santa Monica beaches. There are also really nice local places to eat with in walking distance (the beaches are a comfortable 30 min stroll away). Shelley is a host extraordinaire, and makes you feel very much at home. The unit is secure and at the back of the main home. You have access from the front or the back of the property. It is pristinely clean and Shelley has everything setup very thoughtfully. I can't wait to go back one day!
