Nika and Austin are INCREDIBLE! I can’t even express how fortunate I was to meet them.

Their house has such a pleasant and friendly atmosphere. It’s located just a few minutes from Venice beach, Sunday’s Farmers Market, Abbot Kinney Street (which has a lot of really cool brunch places, shops, bars and restaurants), 20 minute walk from Santa Monica Pier, etc. My friend and I stayed in a beautiful, bright, sunny, clean room on the second floor. It had incredibly comfortable queen-size bed, nice art on the walls and the separate private guest bathroom.
We felt ourselves like home. Nika and Austin provided us everything we needed: an iron, blow-dryer, as many towels as we wanted, sun screen, shampoo, coffee, creamer, etc. - everything! Austin is a very artistic person, always in a good inspirational mood and it’s such a pleasure to talk to him. He also makes amazing coffee ;) Nika is a sweetheart! She helped me to do my laundry while I was gone for the whole day, she also called me a cab all the time since I lost my credit card and couldn't use Lyft or Uber (my friend is from abroad). It was SO helpful. She got cakes and ice-cream for my Birthday!! and even cooked me and my friend breakfast the day we were leaving. We had really fun time. I can't express how much we enjoyed staying with Nika and Austin. They are very kind, open-minded, cool people who are ready to help any time and give good advice. It’s such a pleasure to deal with them. Not even to mention that they gave us a discount since we stayed a little longer than 4 days which was very nice of them. They also have a kitty Winston and a dog Carthidge who are very sweet and friendly.

We were so lucky to meet Nika and Austin, and the next time we’re going to Venice there is no way we are staying anywhere else but at their place ;) The best hosts and people ever.
