Don't let the garage aspect scare you away. Patrick's place is private, removed from the street by a gate and a long driveway, and quite comfortable, with a tv and a great bed—and you'll likely enjoy throwing open the garage door every morning to golden sunshine. The bathroom set-up is a small inconvenience, but doable. I stayed for an entire month and worked remotely. My only (slight) complaint is noise. House is near the Santa Monica airport, and there was daily loud airplane traffic as I was doing Zoom calls. Also: Excellent neighborhood. Walking distance to Rose Ave., Abbot-Kinney, and Venice Beach. Lots of cool vintage shops and succulent stores on the same block.
