Carla's place is very clean, comfortable, and in a great location 2 blocks from the beach. It has everything you need and Carla is very friendly and helpful. She went out of her way to be welcoming. My arrival was late due to air schedule and she was there when I arrived. I do not live in a city so I was a little nervous about going out at night alone-so I didn't unless someone was picking me up or something, but I felt safe inside. I loved that I could walk to Starbucks,, the beach, restaurants and everything in Venice as I had no car. I hope to come back!
