My husband, mother, baby daughter and I had the pleasure of staying at Susi Alexa’s home.
Communication was very good and she assisted when we were confused with the functioning of the air conditioning.
The outdoor spaces are really lovely. We only used the two rooms on the ground floor, as the upstairs one was more of a loft and had a loud air conditioning unit.
As others have said, the kitchen was well-stocked, although cosy.
We enjoyed the home. I do think some things could have been better cleaned. The remotes had quite a lot of dirt on them and the cooking utensils had to be rewashed as well as several other things.
The home was located about a 10 minute walk to Abbott Kinney, which was really cool. However, to no fault to Susi, and as you may have read on the news recently, the homeless population in Venice has skyrocketed during the pandemic. We saw vagrants wandering the street where the house was on several occasions and there was a big encampment of homeless people a couple of blocks away. The general Venice beach area had lots of homeless tents and drug paraphernalia. This unexpected (for us) aspect of the trip really changed our perception of the value of the Airbnb and disappointed us (but to no fault of Susi, so this has not been factored into my rating). The house still felt secure, just not as much outside of the gates. I write the above for people like me that would appreciate a heads up.
We still had a nice time, but either spent our time inside the home, or drove away from Venice. There are thankfully many nice places veryclose by.
