Neighbourhood
We are in a beautiful, quiet residential neighborhood and in the best location in Los Angeles for visiting and tourism!
The house is also within walking distance of two local shopping areas that include a farmers market, Whole Foods, coffee shops and a variety of wonderful restaurants -- as well as many other shops and services.
Getting to my home
We are a short cab/Uber ride from LAX but also close to two major LA freeways (the 10 and 405).
Nearest airport
LAX is only 7 miles (15 minutes) away.
Getting around
We are centrally located on the west side of Los Angeles and are only 2.5 miles from Culver City, 3.5 miles from Venice Beach, 3.5 miles from Marina del Rey, 4.5 miles from Westwood Villiage/UCLA, 5 miles from downtown Santa Monica, 11 miles from Hollywood, 12 miles from downtown Los Angeles and 12 miles from Malibu.
All locations are easily accessible by car and some by bicycle. (We have two great bikes available for use!) The Expo light rail train is close to our home and provides direct access to Downtown Santa Monica and Los Angeles.

Robert
Jeri and Bobby Rees are a retired school teacher (Jeri) and un-retired architect (Bobby). Married for 34 years and the parents of two adult sons, they recently designed and built a new house with the intent purpose of using it for home exchange and travelling more often. Between them they speak English, Spanish and French. They love art, movies, music and exploring the natural and built environment.
Life-long residents of Los Angeles, Jeri and Bobby love their city and love to share its treasures (many of them hidden!) with others.
People Like Us is the world's most trusted home exchange community. We believe in sharing, trust, generosity, respect, communication, equality, cooperation, honesty, hospitality, friendship, flexibility and adventure. We take pride in our homes and we care about the environment in which we live: our village, city, country and our planet. We care about the ethos of home exchange and we do it because we love the experience and the friendships that it generates.
