If you want to experience Venice and can't decide between the beach or Abbot Kinney, this is the place you want to be. It's just a short walk in either direction! This place is really super conveniently located, I walked everywhere around Venice and when I had to go downtown, I never had to wait longer than 3 minutes for an Uber. The apartment itself is great (loved the hummingbirds outside the window!!), and you can tell the host family travels a lot: everything you will need is there, wether it's a shopping bag, beach towels, or cleaning materials. The bed was super comfy, and as a few nights were really chilly, I was happy there was heating which worked very well. Wifi was great, too. Loved that it had both dishwasher and laundry, this made my life so much easier.
