Cy was fantastic! The apartment was simply stunning. If anything, his description did not do the place justice. The finishes and fixtures were (or looked) all brand new, very stylish, very tasteful. My fiancé and I stayed there for four nights and were very comfortable. Check in and out was super easy. The place was right in the center of Venice, a block from the boardwalk, so if that's what you're looking for, you'll find it here. The kitchen was super small, so don't expect cooking, but if you're traveling to Venice/Santa Monica and cooking at home, you're doing it wrong anyway. 100% recommend this place. Cy is also super friendly and provided a great local activities!
