Randy’s place is top notch. It was a totally warm and welcoming experience. It started with Randy’s excellent communication before the trip. The guest house was very welcoming and had the feel of a real home. Being someone who uses Airbnb a lot, I am so tired of the many sterile places that are offered - 4 walls, bed, furnishings, etc. Nothing endearing, just a hotel room. Randy’s place was just the opposite, and the thoughtful amenities were very much appreciated. The place is just steps (literarily) from Rose Cafe in Venice, a great place to eat. It’s also a focal point for Venice, and if you like walking, this location is perfect to see all the small shops and boutiques at Abbot Kinney. Check in and check out was super easy. Carl checked me in and is a sweetheart. I wholeheartedly recommend this place and will be staying again!
