We stayed with Nika and Austin, and their adorable dog and cat, for 3 nights and had a fantastic time. Their house is so beautiful, cosy and has a really relaxed beach vibe, whilst Nika and Austin were welcoming hosts. The beach is less than a 2 minute walk away, with Venice beach in one direction and Santa Monica pier in the other, and there are plenty of cool restaurants and shops within easy walking distance. We were driving and parking could be a little tricky with all the different parking regulations on nearby streets but we soon worked it out. If you're considering staying here, don't delay, I promise you will not be disappointed!
