Our stay at Joe's home was excellent. The property itself is a 20 minute walk to the beach or a 7 min drive. The house is very clean, stylish and equipped with anything we needed to feel at home. The back yard is huge - a fire pit and dining table really made our stay in Venice one where we could enjoy being outdoors. Triple bonus - the Nespresso machine, the incredible photography books, the safe/gated property. It can get a bit hot in the house, but Joe provided a strong AC unit which worked wonders. The beds are very comfy and the rooms stay fairly dark in the morning if you are a late sleeper. I would definitely stay again and would recommend this place to anybody looking to get away while still being able to enjoy time at home.
