Marilyn is such a wonderful host with a beautiful soul. I thoroughly enjoyed all of our conversations, & had an absolutely amazing stay. I would definitely recommend her place to anyone who was looking to stay in the area. Her home is located in a great location in Venice that is within walking distance to a variety of restaurants, shops, & the beach. For anyone who has a car, there is a secured parking space within the gated complex. Her neighbours are really great, as well as her cats, Tallulah & Jasper; especially Jasper, who is a ball of love. He loves him some attention! The space itself is super tidy, charming, & well-decorated. The succulent garden is peaceful & serene, & is a great place to relax with a coffee and a book. I definitely plan to stay here again on my next solo trip! Until then may you be happy, healthy, peaceful & well Marilyn!
