nicole's bungalow is magical! it's bright, airy and comfortable. the home was well equipped and bikes were a plus! we also loved the ambiance of the patio. the bungalow is pretty central to both venice and santa monica, and we enjoyed riding our bikes down to he beach path. communication with nicole was a breeze. she provided great info and recommendations... and even left us some bubbly and snacks - such a nice touch! we can't wait to return :)
