Vanessa met us at the Air BnB and gave us a tour. When the coffee machine broke she had another one in storage ready to replace and so it was fixed straight away. Vanessa was always available for questions while we were there. The neighbourhood feels safe, people are very friendly, and the house provides a lot of comfort and privacy with tall fences and greenery that surround the front outdoor lounge space from the road. All the gates/ doors to the property have codes so you don't have to worry about splitting up from your group during the day. Everything you could need in the neighbourhood is a short walk away coffee, food, bike rentals, and stores. The beach in this neighborhood our hood is super close and not overcrowded. It is almost private - and a short walk down the boardwalk to the busier areas of Venice Beach. Overall great stay!
