We had such a wonderful time staying at our beach home for a month. The apartment is clean and well decorated, with a nice Venice beach feel. The parking space was super convenient (and we actually had access to a second for guests but I don't know if that is always the case.) Lauren is super responsive and took care of any minor requests we made. The apartment is well stocked with everything you need for a beach vacation including towels, umbrella, volleyball, and cooler. We visited in August and the cool ocean breeze was so wonderful, very comfortable even at the height of summer.
Venice beach is only one block away, with a ton going on. The apartment is close to muscle beach, the paddle tennis courts, lots of good food, beach gymnastic equipment, the famous Venice beach basketball courts, etc. There is always something going on. Our time here was truly unforgettable.
Be aware that Venice is noisy, even at night. This was not a problem for us but could be an issue for light sleepers or people very sensitive to noise.
All in all, this was one of my family's best Airbnb experiences. Thank you so much Lauren!
