We are a family of four and spent Spring Break at Kevin's Venice condo. The space was perfect for our family with two bedrooms with queen beds and pullout couch (which was comfortable) in the living room. There was only one bathroom, but that wasn't an issue for us. However, the unit may feel a little small for larger group.
Check in was easy since Kevin sent us the lock code in advance, and the unit was very clean once we arrived. The apartments appears to be updated recently, it had all the amenities you need including fully-stocked kitchen and extras for the beach (towels, mats, chairs, etc). We also liked having the outdoor patio area to relax on the hammock and really appreciated having a dedicated parking spot so we didn't have to drive around after a long day.
The location worked very well for us since it was central to the areas we wanted to visit around LA - from Malibu and Manhattan Beach to Universal Studios and Pasadena. It is a short drive to Santa Monica where we headed for dinner several nights. Each day we enjoyed morning runs along the beach. You can run to the bike path in about 5 minutes and then can head north for miles through Santa Monica.
We really enjoyed our stay at Kevin's place in Venice and look forward to another visit in the future.
