(this is my first under 5* review in 5 yrs) I really wanted to love the place, booked it weeks in advance for my bday. Unfortunately, it didn't meet the description. Tranquil and private is definitely not how I would describe the listing: its right by Venice Ave with lost of traffic and the patio is on a busy street, so its really noisy, as most of Venice is. It shares thin walls with other listings so you can hear other guests and its also the central hub to other Airbnb listings so i kept receiving daily packages for all guests even with the gate locked and had multiple guests knock late in the eve to ask for directions or just randomly walk in through a hole in the fence, which was rather intrusive. The cleanliness was also not on par with the price: the towels and sheets were not clean, although the host did replace those very fast when I asked, and most of the furniture is outdated and stained, not as nice as on pictures. Definitely not worth 220/night I paid for a luxurious experience.
