I had a very positive experience at YK and Pat's place! They were very helpful, friendly and kind. The place was homey and tidy and had everything to make us comfortable (including towels, tea and snacks... loved drinking the teas!). My bed was great and I rested very well for the 2 nights there (my friend too!)! The house was about 20-25 minutes walk to Venice Beach and there were several restaurants and shops along the way. Alternatively, you can also bike there, but we didn't get to use their bikes because one was too tall for us. Overall, I recommend this place!
