Wonderful place by the beach! Rooftop hangout was great and enjoyable.
Garage was important to us because on-street parking may be a challenge and we didn’t want to drive around hunting for a spot.
Grateful for the beach chairs/umbrellas that were handy to use!
Place is exactly as you see in the photos. We loved the brightness of the skylights in the kitchen/bathrooms. Amazing natural light!
Donald was responsive to my messages - as I had a few questions.
A/C is nice to have but we didn’t use it much.
Be aware Venice Beach has some interesting characters but we never at any time felt unsafe. Just enjoy the uniqueness of the area. Yes - there are homeless people but they don’t bother anyone and they’re everywhere we went outside the area. Just makes me wonder what LA is doing to remedy these challenges, which I hope they’re doing.
Walk one direction on the boardwalk towards Muscle Beach and the skatepark/roller park. Walk the other direction towards Marina Del Ray, which is more subdued.
We were in town to do college visits and it was a great location as we were usually on the opposite side of the crazy traffic so it was a plus for us! Yes, enough space for our teen daughters and they felt comfortable to go out on their own.
It’s breezier/cooler Oceanside (70s) while inland, it was 80s-100, so dress accordingly! You will need pants/jacket for evening strolls! Plenty of shops nearby if you need anything.
I only wished we were able to stay longer!
