This was my first airbnb experience and I loved it. Shelley was great - friendly without being intrusive. She stocked coffee for me and tea for my daughter and a few snacks. She even put half/half in the little fridge and helped me navigate the best route through traffic. The cottage was spacious, private, quiet and my daughter and I felt very safe. And having a parking space was nice. The bedroom and bathroom were big and the kitchenette adequate enough for stocking up on breakfast items, drinks and snacks. The place was very clean and not cluttered with just enough of a home feel. A bit of a hike to the beach, best to drive and park in the public lots. Location is close to pockets of restaurants and shops within walking distance and a quaint grocery by the college. Check out the food trucks during lunch at 33rd St. Quick drive to the 10, Venice Beach, Santa Monica Pier and the 3rd St. Promenade. I would stay here the next time I visit LA. Thanks Shelley!
