Fantastic experience at Ed and Andrea's gorgeous home. As hosts, they were quick to address requests and issues. They do live in a separate house on the property but were non-intrusive and did their best to stay out of our way. Andrea gave accurate and precise instructions for check-in and check-out that made the whole process easy. The property itself is wonderful -- fully upgraded, with a completely stocked kitchen. Everything you needed was provided -- towels, toiletries, beach towels, coffee, pots, pans, hair dryer, etc. There is a working projector but we didn't use it. The hot tub was a very nice touch in the beautiful rooftop patio and we used it throughout our stay. There is also a gas grill if you feel like cooking outdoors. The house is in a nice neighborhood, about a leisurely 10-15 minute walk to the Venice Beach boardwalk, 5 minutes to Abbott-Kinney with its bars, restaurants, and quaint little shops, and a quick Uber ride to the Santa Monica pier. The street in front of the property does get busy, especially in the mornings, but the house is tucked away further back from the street so it didn't really bother us. I strongly recommend availing of the $15 a night garage parking. Street parking is painful in this neighborhood (as I said, it's a busy street). All in all, we loved our stay and if you are looking for a property near the beach, I recommend staying at Ed and Andrea's.
