The perfect Venice beach getaway for a week of remote work. Super close to Whole Foods, great coffee (groundwork) and quick drive to the beach and dog parks. Grace is lovely and her house feels like a home. Not only did it have everything I needed, it was very intuitively arranged (easy to find things in the kitchen for ex). Fantastic water pressure and lots of shelving for your things in the bathroom. I’ve had bad luck with “heated” homes on Airbnb before, but this place is perfect. If you’re easily chilled, the heating system is fantastically effective and fast. Back yard is a haven and nice amenity if you have a dog that wants to explore in an enclosed environment.
It’s very close to Lincoln Blvd and in Venice so of course there are homeless on the major streets (I noticed 1 review complained about this), but it always seemed safe when I walked my dog at night (even on Lincoln given the traffic). I never saw the homeless on her block nor towards the residential areas (but of course on Lincoln). Parking was really easy. I was worried with street parking it might be hard to find a spot but was super easy, even on street cleaning days. I usually got the spot right in front of the house.
