I stayed at M's place during a weekend visit to Venice (Los Angeles). M was a great host: easy to communicate, flexible in the arrangements prior to my arrival, and is really kind.

The cottage is perfect for those looking for a comfortable and quiet place to spend the weekend. Location is also excellent, as it is close to cafés and restaurants around Venice Beach -- all at walk distance (including a whole foods supermarket one block away).

The only regret I have is not spending more time there to relax and enjoy the garden in a summer evening.
