Melissa is very easy to communicate with - a VERY friendly and kind host that takes good care of her guests.. She helped us a lot and no doubt - We have never had a better host. The tent and garden is amazing. It is both very practical and it gives you a different experience that suits well to the laid back lifestyle you'll find around Venice Beach/Santa Monica - we enjoyed the bycicles a lot and further, it only take 40 minutes by car to eg. Hollywood.. I will definitely come back and visit Melissa and her beautiful oase again - thank you for this time
