Kathy and I loved the Venice Retreat. It was just as advertised! A peaceful and private retreat from the busy surroundings of Venice, but conveniently located to access the beach, as well as other parts of Los Angeles. The neighborhood is very walkable and accessible. We found our hosts to be both friendly and accommodating of our needs. I have come to judge airbnb properties on the quality and comfort of bedding, and this one is near the top of my list. We slept very comfortably. The private patio/garden space must be mentioned as well. It is simply delightful. We also appreciated the extensive and varied art on display. Kathy and I highly recommend the Venice Retreat. Thanks Chris for making this a memorable stay.
