Venice Beach is an idyllic area to explore - one of the few places you may not need to drive around. If you do bring a car, ensure it’s a small one as the street is narrow. Rent a bicycle or scooter and you’ll have a great time. The loft is a good size for two people, but there is a cracked window at the front so do be diligent about safekeeping your belongings. The area feels safe, however. Whilst clean, we found it a little dusty so may not be good for people with allergies, and can get cold in the evenings as walls are quite thin (so you can hear a lot of external noise, too). We did have to supply our own toilet paper as very little was provided for our two night stay, but this was accidental and the hosts offered to top up, hbut we’d already procured our own.
