Patrick was very welcoming. The place was exactly as described and recently updated with hardwood floors. It was very comfortable and cozy for two. It was particularly cold weather when we visited so the garage was cold but Patrick provided a space heater which always heated up the room quickly. Patrick was always available and extremely responsive with texts and even switched out one of the bikes that wasn't working for another one he had. We were able to bike to Venice Beach all the way up to Santa Monica. Street parking was very easily available and the neighborhood was quiet but close to lots of things to do/restaurants. Overall we had a great stay!
