We had a great stay at Barbara's place. She was out of town while we were there, but extremely responsive and told us everything we need to know. The place itself is nice and private, and well stocked with kitchen supplies and everything else we needed. Her place is literally a block away from the Venice beach boardwalk and a street full of restaurants and bars, so it's easy to walk to dinner or bottomless mimosa brunch. We had a great time and really enjoyed our stay!
