We chose to stay with Patrick after reading all the positive reviews and our stay was great! Patrick is a very friendly and warm host who replies our messages promptly and patiently. It was also nice of him to welcome us personally upon our check-in. It was a cool experience to stay in the garage. Good amenities such as a coffee machine are provided. The only inconvenience is having to walk out of the garage in the cold to use the washroom. Location is good and Venice Beach/Abbot Kinney is about a 1 mile walk away. Eggslut and Salt n Straw is also not far from the place. We highly recommend Patrick's place!
