This is a comfortable, beautiful home on a quiet street, in a fantastic location. The two cruiser bikes (which come with helmets and heavy-duty combo locks) were a huge plus. We went on long bike rides every morning along the boardwalk down to Santa Monica (and beyond), and biking to the beach is quick, easy, and cheap. Abbot-Kinney's famous shopping district is less than 5 minutes away on foot (and even quicker to reach by bike), and it features all the boutique shopping and tasty eats you could ask for. Venice's beautiful canal district is also less than 5 minutes away on foot. And the heart of Venice Beach is about a 5-minute bike ride away. There's also plenty of additional shopping and eating on Lincoln Blvd., Venice Blvd., and Washington St. nearby. In short, this classic Venice bungalow makes for a perfect hub for visiting L.A. (especially the Venice-Santa Monica-Culver City-Marina Del Rey axis). Finally, Paul & Jenn's bungalow comes with a large, state-of-the-art kitchen that is furnished with everything you need to take advantage of the local farmers markets and specialty food stores. Oh, yeah: Paul & Jenn are great hosts--super friendly and extremely thoughtful. Highly, highly recommended!
