Fabulous House! Honestly, when I booked the house I did not really know anything about "Venice" beach. We were looking for a place to be based for our LA adventures and thought it would be cool to have a place by the beach to chill after adventuring. What we discovered has been life changing. We were a blended family--- a 14 year old and her dad and 2 adult female cousins. The house allowed the perfect amount of hang out space and plenty of spaces if you wanted your alone time! The location truly can't be beat. I think a lot of places advertise to be close to Abbot Kinney but this house is right off of Rose Ave which in my opinion is much better than Abbot. You can literally walk to everything or use those new scooters that are everywhere on the sidewalks. You are far enough away from the beach to be away from the hectic energy but at the same time close enough if you want to go :) The house feels "alive" It truly has a glowing energy and quite literally you can experience this with the stove. I fell in love with that antique gas stove (its pilot light always stay on) My mother started referring to it as the keeper of the house :) I am already dreaming of going back!!!
