Host
This home is managed by Lee
This home is managed directly by its owner who will be your point of contact before and during your stay. Lee and Steve are tech entrepreneurs and speak English, French and conversational Spanish. They raised their three children in this home but are now based primarily in Santa Monica. They love the house too much to let it go though, so they have kept it on to rent out and occasionally use for themselves. They will check you in themselves where possible or else ask a trusted friend do it on their behalf, but they're always on hand to answer any questions you might have.
This home is a Plum Guide Award winner.
