Tawny was a very kind and responsive host. The apartment is only 2 short blocks from the beach, but tucked away enough that you avoid most of the noise and shenanigans on Washington Blvd. The bed was super comfortable, and the kitchen had everything that I needed to cook meals. There's an outdoor parking spot and in-unit washer/dryer and dishwasher. The location can't be beat - just steps to the Venice pier and boardwalk. I would definitely recommend staying with Tawny if you're visiting Venice and want to be in a comfy space that's close (but not too close) to the action.
