Randy's place was the perfect spot for our week in Santa Monica/Venice. My husband and I stayed for a week along with our adult son. Communication with Randy was excellent. Check in was so easy and we found the guest house precisely as advertised and even better than the photos. It was absolutely lovely. Randy's thoughtful touches made our stay completely care free. Breakfast foods, well stocked kitchen, comfy beds, fluffy towels, beach supplies, abundant natural light, incredibly clean, great laundry machines, fabulous location, parking, excellent communication, charming host and family. Who could ask for anything more! Easy walk to the beach and all that Venice has to offer. Easy access to transit if you aren't driving. Great restaurants, groceries, coffee places, pretty neighbourhoods, easy highway access for day trips, this spot has it all. We consider ourselves very lucky to have found Randy's guest house and hope to return if we are ever back in Santa Monica/Venice.
