Four words describe the hostess: Welcoming, charming, warm and considerate. The house was in a lovely, quiet neighbourhood. It is very close to Venice Beach, Marina del Rey, restaurants, supermarkets, bike pathsThere is bus transportation to Santa Monica. LAX airport is an easy 15-minute drive away, and in spite of its proximity, there is no noise... This beautiful home has a wonderful feeling of tranquility and was exactly like the photos. Gorgeous! I will most definitely stay there again when I go back to Venice/Marina del Rey.
