This house is so very cute and is great as a home base for exploring Venice and nearby Santa Monica. Leigh and Stefanie are also incredibly welcoming, generous, informative, and respond super fast which is always so reassuring. The Apple TV and wifi are super easy to figure out. It's a minimally equipped space, but it really has everything you need for a trip, particularly in the kitchen. It feels like you can unpack and settle in easily because there's not too much stuff around. I'd recommend it for a couple or for friends traveling, absolutely! Also, parking included is amazing!

I'm originally from LA, which makes me ultra-picky, but location is my only issue. It is very close walking to Abbot Kinney and other fun stuff in Venice, so in terms of proximity it's situated well. It's just a loud and up-and-coming part of the neighborhood -- this is an issue for us because we've got a 1 yr old who naps during the day. So, construction (and other) noises by day followed by loud neighbors at night were somewhat frustrating. Obviously this is not the hosts' fault in any way, I don't mean it as a con but more as something to know if you're traveling with a baby!
