Paul’s place is absolutely incredible. Beautiful house and a welcoming host... and the most chill dog ever! Supermarket close by and bus stops also nearby, although Venice beach is actually about 20 minutes away on the bus. If you’re hiring a car, you’ll have no problems at all. The garden was spectacular with the bar and hot tub. Would absolutely recommend to anyone wanting to explore LA but not be in the downtown area. Felt very safe and at home in Paul’s house. Would definitely stay again, if we could give six stars, we would!
