I loved this place and honestly after a month it just felt like home. The best section of the beach is at your feet, and right in the middle of Venice. You cannot beat the location at all. The apartment was adorable and met all my working from home and evening video gaming needs. The cons are that parking is difficult in the neighborhood, but after a while I learned which streets had which street cleaning days. The appliances in the kitchen could use a little love - the knobs and surface of the oven gets very hot when on and some of the dishes were dirty, but I was able to clean them up. Counterspace is minimal. But honestly, this was nothing compared to how much I loved the space and ambiance. Would definitely come back. :)
