I loved staying with Marilyn in her loft in Venice. It‘s exactly how she described it in the profile. Marilyn is very kind, friendly, humble and adorable. Although everything is open in the loft, you have your own space. If you want to be alone, Marilyn leaves you alone, but she is always there for questions and gives helpful recommendations. The location is perfect, the beach, grocery stores and restaurants are in walking distance. And for me, most important thing, the bus stop ist right around the corner. I spent 9 days in Venice and Los Angeles and went by bus to every destination. It‘s so easy and cheap. You really don‘t need a car. I would recommend Marilyns place without any hesitation.
