Probably the greatest location we could have ever picked, that was definitely number 1 perk. It is on the line separating Venice and Santa Monica. Whole Foods being about a 3 minute walk from the guest house, saved us! But we tried a new coffeeplace/breakfast place every day around us, and they were spectacular !!!! And we walked everywhere !!!! Venice boardwalk was about a 20-25 min walk, but we just rode bikes ! My girlfriend and I absolutely adored it. And the hosts hospitality was awesome asking how we were and if we needed anything !
