Great location. Quiet and quaint part of the neighborhood. Very walkable to everywhere in Venice and Santa Monica and particularly the beach, or if you're not much of a walker it's an easy bus/lyft/uber. Also an easy bus/lyft/uber to LAX which was a bonus when we flew out.

Check in was simple and easy. Patrick was friendly and gave us the lay of the land right when we arrived.

The cabin itself (and its adjoining patio) is super charming and functional for a studio apartment. It is located in Patrick and Jane's backyard, just behind the main house. We shared the yard/patio with their super friendly dog and cat.

One drawback is that the cabin could have used opaque curtains or blinds for better privacy and sunlight control. Two of the cabin's windows had no curtains or blinds. One of these windows directly faces the window of the main house and the other directly faces a window of the neighbor. The glass door and the other window have beautiful curtains, but they are sheer and largely transparent when the light is on at night.

The cabin and premises were very clean when we were there, but there was a considerable amount of bugs, mostly mosquitoes and spiders, which had found their way into the cabin.

But overall we had a very nice experience here exploring the neighborhood, hanging out at the beach, and petting the dog.
