This place is amazingly close to Venice beach (20 steps to sand). Was a surfers dream as a retreat. It's just south of the Venice pier and on the cleanest strip of Venice Beach (no homeless or wandering drug addicts). It felt very safe in a cute little area with many wonderful locals. The downside was the cleanliness of the place when I moved in for 1 month and was supposed to be the first guest after they did some renos. The mattress was stained with nothing but a fitted sheet on it (you could see the stain through the sheet), couch was beat up and stained when I moved in, the blinds barely work and are extremely filthy just like the ceiling fan. It does have brand new stove/oven/microwave/fridge. The other 3 airbnb units within this airbnb factory of a building (rented back to back with different guests in each unit every 3-4 days) ensures plenty of door slamming and drunk talk which can be heard/felt when sleeping at night. If you can tolerate unclean conditions and random bursts of inconsiderate people throughout the night this is the place for you! I would return but would demand the place gets properly cleaned (Pandemic cleaned) prior to my move in.
