The place was very quaint, and Kelly was a fantastic host!! The room I stayed in was very roomy and open; it was nice waking up to the sun every morning (there are curtains to block out the light). The place was a short ride to both Venice Beach and Santa Monica Pier, as described, which made it easy to explore. Kelly was a very accessible and personable host, but I also felt like I had my own space for sure, and she had some awesome recommendations for food in the area. Parking was also fairly accessible, just sometimes would have to loop around the block again. Relatively quiet neighborhood at night but friendly during the day. Loved my stay here and would definitely stay again. :)
