Diane was an amazing and accommodating host, and staying in her home made our trip to Venice incredibly special. We were less than a block from Rose, and walking distance to Main Street, the best part of the beach (Ocean Park), Gold's Gym, Abbot Kinney, a Whole Foods, and a variety of wonderful coffee shops and restaurants. Aside from being in a prime location, her space was unique and cozy. The unconventional layout allowed my friend and I to each have our own areas, one in the entry room and one in the main space, and the long bathroom had lovely natural lighting and a cute raised shower/tub. Despite not having an oven, the kitchen was fully stocked with enough cooking essentials and appliances for a month long stay and we had no issues preparing most of our meals. The back patio was a gem of a space, with newly painted stairs, furniture, and views of the city. I'm going to miss waking up to the sunrise through the French doors every morning :)
