Patrick was a great host, he was really easy to get in contact with and answered all our questions. Very hospitable and friendly and even put chocolates on our pillows! Great neighborhood, about a 15-20 minute walk to Venice beach. We also walked to Santa Monica beach. There were buses within a 5 minute walk to take you downtown or to the beach. Lots of restaurants nearby. Spacious garagement and street parking was easily available - we had a car so this was great for us. Wifi was great. I would definitely stay here again in Venice beach.
