Ely's place is amazing! It is literally a few steps from the beach/Venice Beach board walk. Everything was sparkling clean and having a private bathroom was very convenient. The room was really enjoyable (TV cable. Netflix, good wifi) and comfortable. The neighbourhood is really quiet and it is walking distance from restaurants and the grocery store (15-20 minutes). Finally, Ely is very friendly and a great host, he respond really quickly if you have any questions. My boyfriend and I had a blast staying there! We are definitely coming back on our next trip to LA! :)
