Donna is a fabulous host. She was really accommodating and let us drop our bags off and check in early after a 14 hour flight. She has all the local info and went out of her way to make us feel welcome and comfortable. The bed really is so comfy and the little deck was a lovely place to have our breaky which Donna generously supplied. It's an easy walk down the street to Venice beach, Santa Monica Pier, cafes and shops. Perfect oasis and start to our trip.
