Barbara's cozy apartment served us perfectly - we were looking for a short stay in LA for two, and this Airbnb definitely delivered. Although the space is small, it's well designed and cleverly equipped with everything you could possibly need. Steps aways from the beach and a short walk to the busier side of the Venice boardwalk, we had a great time getting to know the local scene. We also rented a car for several days and managed to find parking around the neighborhood, although expect to park further out on weekends when the beach is busier (we always found parking within a .8 mile radius or closer, which is far, but free). If you're looking for an easy Venice-area stay, this should be your go-to!
