We really enjoyed our stay at Richard's place. The location was super convenient to a neighborhood gulf beach right at the end of the street and about a 10 minute walk to the main Venice beach.
The house space and setup, including the lanai, was well suited for our family of 4. The house has what you need for a longer term stay - extra towels, extra sheets, new washer/dryer, charcoal grill, cooking supplies, bike, garage you can park in, etc...
Richard was also very easy to get in touch with. We had one issue with the house while we were there, however Richard was very responsive and able to coordinate a service provider in a timely fashion.
Thank you for having us and sharing your place!
