Marilyn's home is lovely, spacious, and full of natural light. I felt instantly at home there and she does a fantastic job making you feel comfortable. The location could not be better - in prime Venice, a short walk from the beach and Abbot Kinney boulevard with all its restaurants and shops. This is indicated in the listing already, but the living space is open to the rest of the house - it still feels secluded enough, and Marilyn is very conscientious and respectful, but if privacy is a priority, this may not be the best fit. However, I had a wonderful stay and a much-needed COVID-friendly getaway. Special shoutout to the two adorable, lively cats!
