terrific place. great, responsive hosts, who made us feel at home. great location on the Grand Canal and 1.5 blocks from the beach. the house has 4 distinct outdoor seating areas and we used them all. the rooftop deck offers a 360 view of the LA basin--you can see the Getty and the Hollywood sign, Santa Monica Mtns, etc.
the house is much larger than the photos suggest, 3 very large indoor gathering areas on the main level, plus a covered outdoor area adjacent to the living room. well-appointed kitchen, bright and airy house and great launching spot for anything you might want to see in LA. We hope to return soon!
