Joanne is a warm and gracious host. If you are able to communicate your family's needs before arrival she will accommodate them. She is attentive to her guests and their Venice Beach experience.
A note to families looking for something in walking distance to the beach: yes yes double yes to this, with a caveat. The entrance to this place is on a local traffic only alleyway, NOT on a walking path. The front of the house is on the pedestrian only side, but guests don't have access to that part of the home. Being on the alley made riding bikes down easier and gives access to a basketball hoop. And the backyard is dynamite: quaint and easy to be in.
