Chris made us feel very welcome, and her house is very cozy and comfortable. Loved all the colorful art work all over the house! Beds are comfortable and the living room is very inviting. Kitchen and dining room are well appointed. Plenty of space for our family of four, and great to have two full baths. Convenient location to downtown HMB and beaches. Can walk to the beach in less than 10 min. There's a creek to cross in order to get to the beach, but it's shallow. Or you can also walk to Venice Beach in just a few more minutes and have easy access to the sand via stairs. The resident cat was very cute and sweet and mostly stayed outside. In case you're bringing a dog (or small children), the back yard is fully enclosed except for one spot, but we were able to block that spot off easily while we were there. Thanks for a great weekend, Chris!
