This casita is lovely! Katy was easy to deal with and quick to respond when/if needed. The check-in/entrance was super easy. We parked in the driveway which was very convenient since street parking can be a challenge sometimes. There were 3 of us here, myself and husband with our 17 year old daughter. There was plenty of space for us including a small office area where my husband could work and our daughter could log onto her college summer classes.
The house is very clean and the decor gives a nice comfy feel. We felt very at home here. The beds are comfortable and the bedrooms are spacious. The kitchen was stocked with anything you may need including bottled water and k-cups to get you started upon arrival. There was plenty of dishes and utensils. We did not cook as we were only there a few days for a wedding, however there were supplies to do so if needed. The house does get warm in the day but Katy has fans throughout and using them with the windows open you get a lovely breeze to keep you comfortable. The evenings cooled down and the fans were perfect! The living room was comfortable. We did not spend much time watching TV, however it worked fine when we did turn it on.
Katy has a book full of great info and suggestions. There is a terrific coffee shop just around the corner and easy to drive to get supplies. It is walking distance to Venice beach, about 30 minutes away. We found walking paths adjacent to the streets behind the houses. I did my morning run on the paths and it was nice and shady and away from cars with few pedestrians.
The house is in Venice which unfortunately there seems to be a homeless problem with many RV's parked and tents. They are mainly on Venice Blvd, however we did come across some homeless on surrounding blocks. The street the house is on is safe and very quiet. There are no homeless tents/RV's on it and we felt safe there.
We enjoyed our stay very much and would definitely stay here again when back in LA. Highly recommend staying here! Thank you Katy!!
