Michael is an excellent host, sharing loads of information about L.A. and helped us with all sorts of questions. He is a very open minded person and shared/helped us more than we would have expected from an Airbnb host.
Our room and bathroom were clean and we felt like being home for our 3 day stay.
About a 5 minutes walk away is a metro bike dock ($5 for 24h access) and if you take Short Ave/ Mindanao Way down to the marina and from there the bike path you will be in the heart of Venice Beach in about 20-25 minutes...
On our next trip to L.A. we would definitely try to book Michaels room again.
