Marilyn was a wonderful host, near an excellent location, walking distance from Abbot Kinney, and Venice board walk. I work from home (WFH) east coast time and 1) there are coffee shops that open early and 2) the outdoor patio was perfect for taking quick calls. Marilyn had everything I needed to make this an flawless stay. Her cats were adorable, and her candor was much appreciated. I would happily stay with Marilyn again.
