Ideal, perfect location to stroll around Venice and south Santa Monica. Very close to the beach (5-6 minute walk), another 2-3 minute walk to a superb breakfast/brunch corner place, where e-v-e-r-y-o-n-e goes to hang and eat something awesome. Quiet, comfortable and unique, this condo is beautiful. Our only issues: a strong smell of old wood and old walls overwhelmed us at first, and it needed some getting used to, but it is a very old condo so no whining anymore about it. Also, there are no doors inside the condo, only drapes. In other words, if you want to spend some time in the toilet, kindly send your group/family/partner to fetch some coffee from the awesome store around the corner. And tell them to take their time too. The kitchen has everything. The bed is very comfortable. And everything was clean and neat.
Finally, the owner was kind enough to provide us with a parking permit so we won't have an issue leaving our rental on the street. However, almost across the street from the condo is a fire station. And yes, that was the ONLY available place we could park our rental at, as every other space was occupied, probably from the residents, on this narrow street. So, we got a ticket as well. And now we know why that space was always available to park the vehicle.
