Perfect choice! All I could have wished for while visiting my daughter in LA. I was greeted like an old friend by Tony and felt that one could ask him anything and he would help out. Bikes and surf boards were all part of the deal, which is very unusual in LA. Luckily I met Claudia on my last evening and she was equally friendly and fun - great couple.
The cottage was really cute and the garden really sunny and peaceful and at night there was no noise of traffic. It was also in the most perfect place and I walked everywhere - to the beach, to the shops and all the little local restaurants - all within 5 minutes. Venice beach is brilliant and the best place to just sit and people watch!
Book it!
