Elaine and Max have a lovely place, with all the amenities you need. It was also really nice to stay there at the end of our trip without a hire car, and be able to walk round the corner for good coffee, wine and food at the local cafes and restaurants.
Venice beach was also only about a 30-40 min walk (we were stopping to look at lots of places along the way) so it is a fantastic location.
They are great hosts, communicating clearly and were very helpful when our return flight was cancelled allowing us to check out later, which took away a lot of stress! Definitely stay here!
