We spent five delightful nights at Mariana and Owen's place. The place is just as it appears in the photos -- colorful, well-lit, spacious. The walls are lined with a wonderful collection of books -- classics and relevant philosophical, psychological and political tracts. There is also a victrola with several old albums. In many ways, this place allows one to step back in time. Outside the double glass doors is a spacious sitting area, with orange tree, hammock, chairs and table and two bicycles at our disposal! We could easily ride to Venice, Lincoln, Marina. The place is close enough to groceries, pharmacies, restaurants and coffee shops. There is plenty of parking on the block, which is is quiet and neighborly -- morning dog walkers greeting each other, people outside tending to their yards, etc. The bed was comfortable. The bathroom is filled with lots of toiletries, plenty of towels and toilet paper. This is a perfect spot for one person or a couple.
