We stayed at Dorothy's place for the first part of our honeymoon and would highly recommend it. It is located in a great area- just by the beach, Dorothy is an excellent and caring hostess and the room space was clean, well equipped (including a TV where we could choose from a selection of DVD's) the bathroom is amazing and features a rain shower. Dorothy's house is less than a minutes walk from lots of nice cafes and bars in Venice beach but the room was always extremely quiet at night. Her place also features a great roof top terrace where you can see the Hollywood sign from. All-in-all one of the best places we've stayed in!
