Erin made me feel very welcome. She answered all my queries promptly. The house was as described and we felt at home right away. It was really good to be in a residential area of Venice as our only previous experience was as tourists at Venice Beach. We loved the atmosphere and made good use of local amenities such as restaurants, coffee shops and even hairdresser. The house was a relaxed haven after a day in the traffic. Great location - near to the airport and the Metro in Santa Monica. The Blue Buses were really good. You can easily survive a break here without a car, although the parking both at the house and in the road was easy. This is our first Airb&b stay and we loved it. Thank you Erin for letting us use your house.
