Dorothys place is absolutely awesome! its even better than in the pictures. And the location, its only few steps from the beach really. And everything you need is within walking distance. Area is so great. I´m pretty sure we couldn't find better location for Venice holiday! We were group of four adults and the room is big enough for all of us even we had lot of luggages. The extra bed they had, that inflatable mattress was so comfortable! And Dorothy as a host, you could not even dream of better host than she is. She’s the most warm hearted person you could meet. And she helped us in everything we needed. Told us so many good tips where to eat etc. And still you have total privacy during your stay even you live inside their home. This place is highly recommended from all of us if you need a place around Venice beach!
