Michael's house is a really lovely home, the photos don't really do it justice as everything is very high end and it has been recently completely remodelled. You have 2 roof terraces and a balcony to relax on and all the bedrooms are en suite (2 rear bedrooms share a bathroom). its 3 minute walk to Venice Beach and a 30 second walk to the canals. If you have really young children (ours are 2 and 3) then this house might be a bit too nice for them as well as have 2 wide stairs that wont fit a stairgate ! Parking is a challenge as there is on street parking but spots are rare, I parked up around the canals themselves as there was usually space there and then it was a 5 minute walk to the house. (negotiate with Michael beforehand that you can park outside the garage ! he is pretty amenable to that !)Michael is a responsive host and very helpful with everything, if he is in town he lives in an apartment beneath the main house and so is onsite to deal with anything (thanks for the toaster). A lovely place in a great position.
