Dan was a great host, he was extremely hospitable and very responsive. The house is extremely cute and great for a group. The outdoor pool/cabana area was really nice for my family to be together. The pool and jacuzzi were perfect for the hot summer LA day and cool ocean evenings. Really liked the big kitchen and dining table- was great for family dinners. Loved the neighbourhood in Venice/Mar Vista. Only thing to note is the street can be a bit busy so if you're a light sleeper like me, might suggest earplugs if you sleep in one of the front rooms. Overall great experience, wish we could have stayed longer.
