The studio, the location, and Cy's hospitality were the perfect combination for my first Airbnb experience! Cy made sure I was set up with everything upon checking in and then made himself available if I needed anything, but remained out of sight when I didn't. He gave comprehensive and thoughtful neighborhood recommendations that were extremely helpful. The studio itself was wonderful--clean, modern, beautiful. There really couldn't be a better location if you want to stay in Venice!
A couple of things to note:
The studio is located just off the Venice Boardwalk so there is some pedestrian activity just outside your door and those passersby may at times be a little loud. But they are just that--passing by. And it is not consistent...only occasionally. Bear in mind, if you want proximity to the action this may be a side effect.
Having a dedicated parking spot right in front of the studio was a dream come true! But the spot is tight and takes some parallel parking skill to get right. Cy was great at guiding me into the spot the first time and giving me tips for doing it on my own (but also offered to help whenever I would need it). But be prepared if you have little to no parallel parking experience, it can be tricky. Or skip the car rental altogether and just take Uber everywhere! Everyone uses it...even the locals.
Overall, I had an amazing stay at Cy's studio! I highly recommend it and can't wait to go back!
