WOW does not begin to cover my stay at the Elegant Guest Home, an apt description of this property. Everything was perfect from start to finish. Mark made my stay flawless from easy access upon my arrival to quickly meeting my request for a phone book for the area.

The words luxury and comfort don't always go together but this lovely dwelling is the exception to the rule. Beautifully decorated, an effective use of mirrors gives a very spacious feel, a very comfortable bed, a wonderful shower, and my personal favorite, the Zen garden(this alone is a reason to vacation here). Everything about the guest home was spotless with many thoughtful touches--spa quality soaps, shampoo, and creams, wonderful towels and linens, water and some fresh fruit upon arrival, a "tourist guide" which Mark put together with local attractions, restaurants, emergency phone numbers, and simple instructions for the TV and guest status for the internet.

Location, location, location...near Venice Beach and Santa Monica, easy access to the e-way and other attractions like Universal Studios and Theme Park, close to LAX, near great restaurants and grocery stores, yet private and far removed from all of the hubbub with my own assigned parking space right at my front door. As a single female traveling alone, I felt completely safe in this beautiful, wealthy neighbor setting with 24 hour security patrols. This is the perfect setting for vacationers or business travelers alike.

If I visit the Marina del Rey area again, Mark's guest home will be my 1st, 2nd, and only choice to stay. If I were traveling with a larger group, I would rent any of Mark's properties as they are what is promised in the description and so much more. The Elegant Guest Home gets "Two Thumbs Up" because that's all the thumbs I have.

This is a gem located in a quiet section. The neighborhood is great walking, beach access, people and wildlife watching.

We hope to stay here again on future trips from our home on the east coast. The accommodations suited us perfectly. Our thanks for a wonderful first time VRBO.

Mark made my stay very quiet and relaxing for my work trips to LA. Always my first choice - shops a nice walk away, gym nearby, wonderful walks on the beach after work to unwind. I'll never be using a hotel again

Lovely one bedroom in beautiful area perfect for walkers. An early morning walk to the lagoon, beach or the Venice Canals was a perfect start to the day, eat breakfast in, or walk (or ride) to Starbucks or Noah's bagels.
Plenty of thick plush towels as well as spa type toiletries were nicer than a hotel. Coffee-maker, toaster and microwave with dishes and silverware provided enabled us to "dine-in" a few times.
The owner was extremely accommodating and gracious.
All types of restaurants near by, a short drive to Santa Monica.
A wonderful value, we would love to stay there again on our next trip to LA.

This place was very cozy, quiet and had everything we needed for our extended stay. The place was perfect for a traveling professional and the walking areas around it were gorgeous. Great value for the price!
