I booked Donna's apartment for a week with my family, spending our Christmas there. She was very helpful before and during the stay, answering questions usually within the hour. The apartment was of high standard, with little, close to no noise coming from the back alley. My family was very happy with the location with several restaurants and bars close-by in Venice or a quick Uber away to Santa Monica. Since this was during the winter, we did not take advantage of the beach, however, we would definitely do it during warmer seasons. Overall very happy with the stay.
