Elena’s house is on a quiet and lovely street in the middle of bustling Venice Beach. It is unusually large for the area, and the 3 terraces are wonderful. The kitchen had what we needed for basic cooking ( we did not make elaborate meals during this stay). We were extremely comfortable, and Elena was always super-responsive with any questions. The house was spotless. There is a studio apartment on the 1st floor which had 2 different tenants during our stay, but we never heard or saw anyone else, so it was irrelevant to us.
