Randy's guest house is every bit of a home as it is the typical Airbnb. Good location, about 3 blocks to the beach, and out of the hustle and bustle of the boardwalk. Venice is interesting, it's been 30 has since I visited - a mix of homeless and high end shops along Abbot Kinney.. we only stayed two nights, and were pleased with his spot. Nice restaurants on his block, yo dont have to go down to the beach. Very welcoming, helpful host, lives in the main house and the kids are friendly as well. fridge is stocked with basics, and thats also a plus, some3 breakfast items, bottle of wine, juice, coffee - all you need.
