Nika and Austin were the perfect hosts, they were very warm and welcoming and made us feel perfectly at home in their fantastic house. A lovely, kind and conscientious couple. The house was clean and comfortable and only one block back from Venice Beach. The bed was so nice it was difficult to to get up for early morning surf! Our one-year-old daughter made instant friends with Carthage (the dog) and Winston (the cat). She was more happy to be playing in the house than she was on the beach! We highly recommend staying here.
