As everyone else has indicated, this place is absolutely wonderful!
We had never been to the (US) Venice canals before, and absolutely loved them. They are a tranquil and an aesthetically stimulating delight, as is Josie and Paul's home. So much care has gone in to the design of this, that it feels like a luxurious and tastefully designed home from home. The cottage is well stocked, and both Josie and Paul were a delight to meet, and incredibly helpful.
The location is great too. A short stretch to the beach, to Abbot, to Santa Monica, and also an easy Uber to downtown and Hollywood also.
This is the perfect place to stay when visiting LA, and it's great value too!
Best wishes
