If you plan on coming to Venice Beach, and you aren't planning on staying here, I don't know what is wrong with you. The studio is absolutely amazing. We were literally a few second walk from the water and the boardwalk. The place is very clean and has cool modern touches like Alexa, a TV with premium cable channels, dimming lights, and a really cool bathroom. The bed is super comfy, and there is a little kitchenette for any "eating in" needs. One if the best features is the guaranteed parking space. Go ahead and try to find anything else in Venice Beach in this price range that offers a parking space. Not gonna happen.
Cy was a fantastic host. He gave us little personalized Venice Beach keychains and a free meal at the taco joint down the street. He texted us an expansive list of cool things to do in the area and said he would be available for anything we needed. After this, he gave us our space (which is great) and was very responsive when we texted him.
Overall, this place made our trip. We will definitely be staying here again.
