The cottage was a perfect place to stay, it offered a chilled environment to relax when not exploring what Venice/Santa Monica had to offer. It was spacious, cool and offered all the amenities I needed. The icing on the cake however was Tony himself, from the moment I arrived I felt incredibly welcome and felt treated more as a friend than a guest. I had forgot to purchase a plug adaptor, so Tony immediately went and found one for me. In chatting to him I found him to be a really cool guy and he was more than helpful with inquiries I had. Although new to this I believe Tony and his cottage epitomizes everything these experiences should be about, certainly when staying in an environment like Venice. My only regret was I didn't stay longer.
