Olivier was a great host from the start, checking in with us as soon as we requested to stay at his place and giving us all the information we needed. Check-in was very easy. The room was very clean and had everything we needed, from towels and toiletries to a very good selection of books to enjoy. The location was fantastic, just a short walk to the Santa Monica Pier and Third Street Promenade. We were also just a short drive from Venice Beach. He included a parking pass, too, which was very thoughtful and made things convenient for us. We had a lovely weekend, and would definitely stay with Olivier again!
