Ive stayed at many places in Venice. Theres never been a bad one. This place has a convenient location, its clean, and the beds are comfortable.
I appreciate all of the kitchen supplies and basic consumables (seasonings, oils, etc). As someone who makes most of my meals in the airbnb...this is a great detail. Some airbnbs barely have pots and pans...and i have to buy oil to cook with (which i never use all of). So, to have some of these available is greatly appreciated. Also, beach towels! Ive stayed in a handful of places in Venice Beach where they don’t even provide beach towels. You dont think about amenities like these until you dont have them. Then, it sucks. Mark and Laci had me covered for all of that.
My biggest gripe is the cleaning fee. They charge $200 and that is by far the most ive ever been charged for similar properties. It obviously more of a profit center than a mechanism to cover cleaning costs. I agreed to it when i booked, so i cant say it was sprung on me. But, when shopping around on airbnb (in any city), always compare cleaning fees to other properties.
If you dont have a problem with the cleaning fee, give this place a try. You wont be disappointed.
