You can't do any better than this place if you want to stay in Venice and near Santa Monica. The location is just about perfect, and a well-furnished two-bedroom apartment with a fantastic porch overlooking the ocean can't really be beat. We spent many hours hanging out on the porch, reading and relaxing with the sounds of the Venice scene all around us. Nancy was very easy to correspond with, and we were able to check in early without a problem. We would stay here again without hesitation. Our kids loved it -- we've stayed in a number of different places in Venice and Santa Monica over the last decade, and this likely was our favorite. Thanks!!
