Andrew's house is lovely and has everything you need to make you feel at home. It's in a quiet and beautiful area ideal for walking around and only a mile away from Abbot-Kinney where there are tons of restaurants and shops. Venice Beach is not that far and you can easily rent a bike or scooter to get around. I was on a business trip but my colleague and I easily felt relaxed and at home each time we returned from a long day.
