Morena was an amazing host! From the very first time I contacted her, she was quick to respond and shared all the information that we needed and more. Her guidebook suggested some great places to eat. We especially liked the nearby Cafe Brasil and French Market Cafe. Morena was very nice and hospitable.

The house was really charming and looked exactly like the photos, the outdoor spaces (tropical oases) were lovely and felt safe because they were enclosed, and Morena was super nice and very responsive. There were lots of clean towels in the linen closet and fans to cool the rooms. The bedrooms were very private and the whole place was super clean.

We didn't have any problems with parking our rental car right outside of the front gate on the main street, just as Morena had said. Starbucks and a gas station were just down the road on Jefferson. The gas station is a bit intimidating at night so I suggest going there during the day.

The location of the house was convenient if driving to and from, but the neighbourhood was not the best for taking walks, especially in the evenings. I say this because it wasn't exactly in the trendy part of Culver City (which was artsy, cute and felt safe) but was located right on Inglewood Blvd which is a bit run-down in appearance and there weren't many people around. Although, within a short drive we reached the lovely downtown area of Culver City and we were able to eat at many of the places that were in the guidebook (great suggestions!). We also had no trouble getting to Marina Del Rey and Venice beach - we just parked the car near the French Market Cafe and walked from there after brunch.

All in all, the value was good for a two bedroom house with two outdoor spaces for lounging.

Thank you, Morena!
