Although at first it felt too different for me, Jackie’s place was honestly much better than I expected it to be. It also is a taste of how the locals of Venice live; if you’re into that experience then this is the place to stay. And the 5 minute walk to the beach and 10 minute walk to downtown Venice are unbeatable. A couple blocks from Abbot Kinney and the Venice canals are basically your backyard. A real taste of the Venice life.
