Lisa and John were wonderful hosts. The loft has all the amenities you could wish for (highspeed internet, bbq on rooftop, cable TV, full-equipped kitchchen, washer, dryer, etc.) so you instantly feel at home when you get there. The beach is super close. The beautiful canals are only 1 block away. You can also take a short walk to Abbot Kinney and enjoy the restaurants and nightlife there. Available parking spot in the garage is extremly helpful. The apartment has a wonderful rooftop deck to enjoy breakfast in the sun or have a glass of wine in the evening. We enjoyed our stay very much and I would definitely recommend the loft to anyone who is looking for a overall perfect vacation spot in Venice.
