Xiou's place is super convenient and there are some amazing restaurants nearby which won't break your bank. It is really on the border of Venice and Santa Monica and a straight 5 min drive west took us to the beach. Her house is well decorated and her attention to detail is unmatched - very high quality shampoo and conditioner, clean towels presented hotel style and even a aroma oil diffuser. Kitchen was well stocked with spices. Xiou is super generous and a wonderful host. She even helped us with the trash. She definitely deserves her super host title. Highly recommended for couples.
