This is a gem of a house. Elke has a warm and welcoming touch. The house is open and airy, and decorated with a light, happy zen touch. Buddhas abound in the lovely garden, alongside many beautiful flowering plants. Elke was helpful and easy to reach. We found everything we needed in the house. It is an oasis of calm located just off a main street in Venice, and an easy walk to Whole Foods, Starbucks, a Dispensary, UPS, and a Bird or Uber over to Abbot Kinney and the beach. GREAT spot!
