Mario’s place is exactly how it is described on the listing, you are right on Venice beach as you step out the door and have excellent access to restaurants, bars and a lovely walk in the sunshine to Santa Monica is on your doorstep. If you are a light sleeper like myself it may not be the best as the broad walk is busy and after approx 8pm can be a bit unpredictable with noise - however you do get this in lots of places.
In our opinion the apartment may have been too on top of everything as your room is literally one step off the broad walk and you should be vigilant when locking/unlocking your door.
All in all the apartment is clean, comfortable with great access to the whole Venice Beach scene, plus Mario was on hand to answer any questions or concerns we had via the message facility on the app. Our only reason for scoring lower would be the safety aspect and noise.
Thanks Mario!
