We had a great stay at Jonelle and David's place in Venice. The location is peaceful, tucked right off of Lincoln with plenty of amenities within walking distance, and a 15-minute walk to the plethora of shops and eateries on Abbott Kinney. David was great at communicating and providing local suggestions, and the Airbnb included everything we needed for our stay (including a heater, tea and coffee, toiletries, wine glasses, a refrigerator, and plenty of books and records to enjoy. One example of the hosts' hospitality: David graciously offered to keep our (fancy) ice cream pints from Salt & Straw in their personal freezer since the unit's freezer is quite small. Very appreciated!
We enjoy getting around by foot, but the bikes are a huge bonus to squeeze more into the day! You can bike to Abbott Kinney in 5 minutes. We also chose to ride up the beach to Pacific Palisades where we stopped for lunch before returning. Would definitely recommend staying here if you’re looking for somewhere affordable with character while in LA/Venice Beach.
