Jeff and Shelly’s charming casita is exactly as described. The garden patio and water fountain they have as part of the guest suite is so calming and adds a super peaceful vibe to the place.
Easy check in, Jeff greeted me on arrival and gave me a thorough tour of the place - which was really sweet as most hosts don’t usualy go out of their way. They’ve really thought about everything you could need during your stay here and I loved how well stocked and full of amenities the place was. They even had a hair dryer in the bathroom (rare). Especially appreciated that they lent me their blender since I mentioned I loved blended iced coffee in the mornings. I was cooking during my stay and the kitchen is fully functional. Loved that the place had 2 ac’s as most places in La usually just have one.
I had a car and even though Jeff and Shelly provided a permit for parking on the street they also let me park my car in the driveway.
Very easy to talk to, prompt replies, parcels I had ordered they would sweetly leave at the door for me. they have this beautiful dog Leo who is such a stud. He’s not out much but I love dogs so I would always say hi to him.
You have your own privacy as there are windows with nifty blinds on every window. I liked knowing that Jeff and Shelly were close by and usually left my doors open while cooking in the mornings, familial vibe. Sunshine and birds etc.
Location wise, works perfect whether you want to go to Venice to train, or Santa Monica to chill or be quiet on your own. I caught a lot of great movies at the Landmark theatre which is walking distance and it’s the best since they have q/a shows with the cast and directors of the movies as well. Close to grocery stores, salons, gas stations everything.
Loved my stay here, thank you Jeff & Shelly♥️
