Todd has an amazing place in a great location. Centrally located just minutes away from Venice Beach and Abbot Kinney, yet set back on a quiet residential street lined with palm trees and gorgeous houses.
Todd was flexible and allowed me to check in early when traffic was a little lighter than expected, even met to greet me on arrival. Check-in was super easy with straightforward instructions and keypads for access to the complex and guest house.
Although parking is on-street, I never had any issues finding a spot at any time of day and during my short stay I didn't see any indication that car break-ins were particularly common.
The room itself is separate from the main house with its own entrance off the backyard. Although its similar to a hotel with only a bedroom and attached bath, the space appeared much larger than the pictures with high ceilings and tons of natural light. Sparkling clean too.
It had everything I needed for my 3-night stay including a desk, separate seating sections, tv, and plenty of storage. There were numerous thoughtful amenities such as filtered water, mini fridge, Nespresso machine and plenty coffee, nest smart thermostat with both heating and cooling, wireless phone charger, dimmable lighting, and integrated ceiling speakers. The decor was gorgeous, bed very comfortable, views tropical, and plenty luxury toiletries.
The room had access to a small private terrace that wraps around and faces the back alley, as well as the shared backyard that included a fire pit, outdoor dining table, jacuzzi, and plenty seating. Although I didn't make use of this, Todd had included very detailed and clear instructions on how to.
Todd was always helpful and responded to my messages very quickly. I can absolutely recommend his spot to anyone looking for a vacation getaway in Venice.
