We had an amazing time staying at the Modern Venice Beach Guest Cottage. Jo-Ann was an excellent host and was very responsive before and during our 2-night stay. She has thought out every last detail, from the high-end finishes and furniture to the fresh flowers and abundance of natural light. It is conveniently located a few blocks from the famous Abbot Kinney Blvd, with it's ample shops and restaurants. It's a 15 min walk to Venice Beach or a 5 min bike-ride. Jo-Ann had offered to let us use their bikes. There was ample parking out in front of the house and easy private access to the cottage in the back of her home via a sidewalk. We also loved that we could throw in a load of laundry while we were there. While we did not cook, the kitchen has everything you could possibly need. Even though there is no AC, the Dyson fan was wonderful and you can open the many screened windows. The area is quiet and has fantastic homes to admire while walking through the neighborhood. The next time we return to Venice Beach, we will definitely try to stay here again!
