It was a great experience. The place looked exactly like it was shown in pictures. Both checkin and checkout process was easy. Brendan is very responsive. It was winter time when I visited this place and Venice beach. It feels very scary, deserted and dark on the Venice boardwalk after sunset but it has nothing to do with Brendan’s home. Venice itself is like that and you will see lot of homeless folks on the boardwalk. Now coming back the actual penthouse, it looks perfect as listed in the ad and Brendan accommodated lot of utensils, comforters, nice games, TV, and comfortable mattresses and sofas. We were very thirsty after coming home and was so happy to see a full 24 pack filter water bottles at home. One thing to be aware is bathroom tub is too small and has not enough room to take proper shower. That is the only one thing I felt could have been better. But rest everything was picture perfect. Thanks Brendan for the nice accommodation.
