Sarah's place is great!
The location is perfect, two minute walk to the best part of Abbott Kinney, less than 10 minute walk to the beach/ Venice boardwalk, a $5 ride to Santa Monica (or a 20 minute easy bike ride), and it's a breeze getting in from LAX! Also for being right in the middle of Venice, it's incredibly quiet and you feel removed from the all the action.
The apartment is small, but has everything you need! Bed is comfortable, the kitchen has all you need to make a meal (though I didn't make use of it) and the bathroom has great towels and some basic amenities!
Some people comment on the sketchiness of Venice, but in no way did I ever feel unsafe or uncomfortable. Sarah's apartment is in a very trendy and upscale part of town, I felt 100% safe as a petite gay male walking back at night. The boardwalk does attracts some eccentrics but absolutely nothing to be scared of.
On top of it all, Sarah was incredibly quick to respond to any comment or message that I had. She is a well prepared, and organized host.
Highly reccomend!
