Jamie and Ian are wonderful hosts. We really enjoyed our stay at the nice little craftsman cottage and would definitely recommend staying there. We liked especially the little garden in the backyard where you have your privacy and are able to relax from the LA life. The metro station is nearby about 15 min walk. You can reach Downtown and Santa Monica from the station in less than 30 min without changing the train.
We took the bikes for a ride from Santa Monica to Venice and it was a lot of fun!
