Valerie was a very kind and accommadating host! When I arrived in L.A., I didn't have a place booked for my five night stay. I contacted Valerie that morning and received a response within the hour. Everything was set up and I had a lovely place to stay during my stay in Venice. The room is a great size for single traveler or a couple. I loved the gift basket of goodies that was set-up for me in the room as well as the well stocked mini fridge. Valerie facilitates a mediation every Sunday morning (which I regrettably missed) in her meditation room on the second floor. I was able to use the room for a private yoga session. It was the perfect place for my yoga practice and ended up being one of my favorite things that I did during my stay. Valerie, thanks again for sharing your home and being a great host.
