My partner and I stayed at Jim and Beth's place, and it was a perfect place to explore LA. Jim had great tips about where to park in Venice Beach, where to eat in Santa Monica, and more! He was a wealth of information, and very friendly. The location was great to get anywhere, and the street parking was easy. The bed was super comfortable, and the coffee maker in the morning was perfect. We even borrowed towels and beach chairs and a little umbrella for the beach!
