I had a great stay at Marilyn's place. She is a gracious host who'll provide you with dinning recommendations to local eateries, places of interests, as well as, travel brochures and maps. She is fastidious and her beautiful, well kept home bears that out. The location is fabulous, only 2 .5 blocks from the beach and local bus transportation, as well as Abbot Kinney Blvd where you'll find plenty of eateries and shopping to entertain you. Her cats are delightful but if you're a light or late sleeper use the earplugs she provides so your sleep won't be disturbed; she is an early riser and the floor boards are a bit noisy. Apart from that you'll fully enjoy your stay; she is a great host and lovely person. I look forward to future stays at Marilyn's Oasis.
