Sam’s place is absolutely perfect for someone looking to enjoy Venice Beach. The property itself was comfortable and unique - the view from the balcony never grew old.
It’s very much as advertised, you’re one block from the beach and a short walk from Abbot Kinney. Given the enormity of LA being walkable to two of it’s best destinations is great.
In terms of amenities, Sam was very helpful with directing us to reasonably priced parking and laundry. The room itself was enough for my girlfriend and I to work remote from there for 2 months - honestly we could have stayed longer.
Sam and his family (who live below the space) are very hospitable and not invasive in any sense. Sam genuinely cared about our experience and was prompt when we had a minor issue with the dish ware.
The stay did not feel like an impersonal corporate rental, it had the coziness of a home.
Highly recommend.
