Mel's place is in a gerat Venice location near the beach and the fascinating Abbott Kinney Blvd hip area with wide variety of shops, foods, and drinks. We are plant-based eaters and were amazed with the wide variety of options available with miles of her house. Plenty of scooters and city bikes are available for rent everywhere you go in the area. Heavy duty traffic so come and park the car (or ride share) and enjoy lots of fun. Look forward to our next visit.
