Great house near the beach and the venice canals. Very quiet, "homey" neighbourhood and close to almost everything. Very small garage, but having rented a compact, it fitted nicely. Not a lot of street parking otherwise.

Lauren had left clear instructions both before and when we got to the house, so we got in and found everything perfectly.

The beds were very comfortable and the kitchen had everything we needed, as did the bathroom. If you want to use the speakers, be sure to bring a cable for anything else than an iPhone 4.

The patio only has direct sun in the early morning, otherwise it is shaded. This is probably perfect in the summertime, but as we were here in the winter, we rarely used it.

The only remark I have is that it was a bit hard to get in contact with Lauren through the e-mail address listed. I tried a couple of times with no luck. When I switched to text message she answered almost immediatly and was very helpful.
