We stayed at Jill’s house over New Year’s week: a 6-person family of 3 generations. The house was unlike other AirBnBs that we have stayed in, and we have been to many in the US and other countries, generally nicer properties. Jill’s house was very personal, it has amazing amenities, it was equipped better than other houses we’ve stayed in, and the description does not do it justice.
The location on the Venice canals, just off of Venice Beach, is terrific because it is quiet but very close to the action on the Beach. While it is easy to drive into and out of the area (and parking at the house), it was much more pleasant to ride bikes or take scooters to get around.
There is a lot to do in Los Angeles. However, we spent more time than we originally planned in the Venice Beach and Santa Monica area because it was so interesting and fun.
