Philip's place is exactly as described in the listing - which is to say it is amazing. The place is bigger than expected, but it really feels like a home. The beds were very comfortable, which is a biggie to me. I was concerned about street parking but it was super easy - we never had to park more than 50 ft. from the house.
We did not take advantage enough of all of the amenities - a super kitchen, beautiful roof deck with a grill, the ping pong table, etc. - because we were out all day enjoying LA. For us, Venice was a perfect "home base" for all of the time we spent bouncing around between visiting colleges for my oldest kid, taking my daughter surfing in Santa Monica or hiking in the Palisades.
We would definitely come back to Philip's place.
