Donald’s spot is just as described. It is right in the heart of Venice Beach, allowing us to walk everywhere we went in Venice - & even to the Santa Monica Pier. Donald’s pad was perfect for our 18 year old nephew, who was able to hop out on his longboard & ride all over & be a little independent from us. The value of his place relative to the cost and location is outstanding. We were on the go a lot, so we weren’t sitting around the room - but when we wanted to, it was just fine for us. It was esp nice to open up the windows during the day when we were there. I enjoyed a restful afternoon on the rooftop deck - which is a really nice plus. Donald was a perfect host with clear instructions, immediate responses, and extras like beach chairs and towels. Parking was actually easier than expected as we were often able to park right outside the unit.
