If you are ever in LA, I would highly recommend to go and stay at Wendy's place. The locality is perfect, very close to Venice, Santa Monica and LAX. Wendy was the perfect host. She helped me out during my stay and even drove me to Venice beach. She was very attentive and always responsive to my questions and messages :) Her place was very cosy and clean! So do not hesitate and go book the place! You won't find anything better in LA!
