Both Kirk and his home are absolutely awesome, hosts like him are the reason Airbnb works so well. Not only was he accommodating to a host of changes in plans and the need for extra last-minute communication, but he his home was truly amazing. Having lived around the world and specifically in Los Angeles I can say you're really not going to find a better place if you want to get away from the hustle and bustle of L.A., be near the beach but not in the "madness" of Venice and not pay an arm and a leg for it. I very highly recommend his place to anyone looking to stay in the south bay and will definitely be staying there again!
