Perfect location at the Venice Canals, near the beach and not far from the bus stops. The place is very cozy indeed, nicely decorated, clean, not huge, but we managed well with our 2 kids. Kitchen has all the basics, there's a washing machine and a dryer, which we used. Internet, TV, ipod dock, it all worked perfectly. Garage is small indeed, our Toyota Rav was ok, but a bigger car might be a challenge. We didn't find the bikes in the garage, but our kids did go out with the dingy.
