Lauren is an incredible host with an amazing property, the house is stunning. For a place so close to the beach in Venice it's so peaceful and makes an ideal place to relax but you head off in to the Venice madness. The house is spectacular, a real treat and looks exactly how you would wish an LA designer house to look. The real difficulty is having the house, the sofas are so comfortable and the view astounding that you don't want to leave. The bed as mentioned before is sumptuous and one of the best sleep providers I've ever known. The kitchen has everything you could wish for and the roof terrace is the cherry on the cake. Lauren made us feel at home, she's smart, warm and knowledgable. I look forward to returning. Ps The photos do not do justice to how great this place looks, it's way better in real life.
