Loved our stay at Kevin's place in Venice Beach. My friend and I are in our late 30s, and were in town for a quick girl's weekend. We were torn between staying in a quiet, family, residential area by Manhattan Beach, or in a spot close to dining/shopping and either Santa Monica or Venice Beach. We were so happy with our decision with Kevin's place. He was very helpful and FAST with his communications. Everything was detailed for our check in. The place is just as pictured and clean. There were bottles of orange juice in the fridge with some snacks. There was even shampoo, conditioner, and soap for the shower underneath the sink. We used the TV, got to watch a movie off the Apple TV, and slept really well on the comfy double bed. We used the ironing board and beach towels. Kevin thought of everything! The unit has a parking spot and ours was the one closest to the wall, so it was tight. We managed and it wasn't a big deal for our Audi A4, but may be tight for a larger car. The unit was about 5 blocks from Abbott Kinney, with tons of shopping and dining options. We drove to Santa Monica one night (not really our thing, as it turns out), and stayed around Venice Beach for tow days. We walked over to the canals, which was lovely. We ate at Lemonade for lunch one day and came back for some light apps before dinner at Gjelina's. Loved both. Coffee at the Intellingentsia was also excellent, but pricey. TOM's has a coffee shop and theirs was just as good. We drove to Malibu one day, and that was a great day trip.

Would definitely recommend staying at this spot again and working with Kevin. Great host, and made our stay in Venice Beach enjoyable and stress-free.
