My friend and I stayed here for a weekend - went to Universal Studios and the beach. We didn't spend much time in Venice, but looks like it was close to some fun areas. The place itself is pretty nice. It is very well decorated, has a cute outdoors area, good shower, and a small but functional kitchen for 2. There aren't a ton of extra amenities (ie. shampoo, coffee, etc) and there could be a few updates to improve (the fridge was a bit unstable, the couch could use upgrading, and the ironing board had seen better days) but for what we needed it worked!
Kate was very nice, she was out of town during our stay but gave us a number of a neighbor if we needed anything.
Overall a positive experience and a good price!
