Location first: Donna's place is simply perfectly situated for visiting both Venice and Santa Monica; we've walked to both and we've had a blast! The beach is just seconds away from the apartment. Really, what more can you ask for? Well, just so you know, the place is amazing too: it is spacious enough for four people, it is sparkling clean and it has all you need for a pleasant stay (comfy beds - even the sleeper sofa, good shower, the essentials, a kettle, lots of glasses, a cool fridge, efficient air conditioning and a TV). There is quite a lot of natural light going on which is a plus for me. The apartment is remodeled in a modern and appealing way. Now, about Donna - the all you can ask for host. She gave us, in the clearest fashion, all the information we needed to get to the apartment and to get around. Because of this, we knew exactly where to park, how to get in, how to use the amenities and even tips about the area - and everything worked as she said it would. Really great! All the while, she was responsive to my AirBnB messages and was very willing to help us with an earlier check in (even if in the end we didn't need it). Her place made our stay in Venice an at-home experience. I would heartily recommend renting Donna's place. I am sure you won't be disappointed!
