Great place to stay on Venice! The apartment is in the perfect location near the borderline of Venice and Santa Monica. The house is right off the boardwalk so the beach is steps away. There are alot of homeless people that camp in the grassy area of the boardwalk at night and you can hear some chaos from the front yard but, we felt 100 %safe. The house is gated and has a lock pad on the front entrance. Yard is simple but cute. Some outdoor lightening would spruce it up a bit, there was some clutter with an old vacuum and stuff being out but that could easily be cleaned up. They had a few boogie boards and a surfboard to use. There are bikes to use as well. check the tires and use the pump if needed, chain kept falling off one so be careful. They are old but useable. I recommend renting the lime or bird scooters to get around! So much fun! The apartment was clean and comfortable. Super duper cute decor and nice towels and linens. we utilized both couch beds and it was great! Bring your firestick if you want to watch movies and such. The only recommendation I have is maybe replacing the old broken blinds and placing some throw rugs around, the tile floors are beautiful but your feet get grimy right off the bat. I would totally stay here again!l
