Our family of four stayed at Emma's place over Christmas 2018 and LOVED IT. The home is charming, comfortable, clean, and nicely decorated. The beds are super comfy. The neighborhood is wonderful -- easy walk to the beach and even easier walk (around the corner!) to Abbot-Kinney, with a funky & (mostly) upscale array of stores and restaurants. Plus, you can head north or south from Venice Beach and easily get to so much more. It was great to come "home" to Emma's place after a long day of touring around LA. As with all of the homes in this area, you're very close to your neighbors, so it can get a bit noisy at night if people aren't respectful of quiet hours, but it wasn't a big deal (nothing crazy). We would definitely stay at Emma's again if we're fortunate enough to visit LA again.
