We loved our stay at the Lavender House! Kendall was a gracious host who gave us our privacy while being accessible for questions and flexible about our checking in and out times. The little house is unique and clean and has many amenities provided including organic and sustainable bath products, spices and oils for cooking, great books to look through, Netflix, and a thoughtful notebook of places to eat and visit in Venice. There’s a great, deep bathtub. It’s a short, colorful walk (2-3 blocks) to the heart of Venice beach, and we would highly recommend renting a bike there- inexpensive and fun. It’s a very short walk around the block to the Abbot Kinney district and an excellent coffee house called the Blue Bottle. We happened to be there the weekend of the Abbot Kinney festival and it was a blast. Would highly recommend the Lavender House- we enjoyed it as a great home base for seeing LA. Parking can be challenging, though!
