My stay in The Common Studio was nothing short of terrific - the location was perfect (convenient, but also quiet and private), the space was beautiful and well-maintained, and the hosts were happy to respond to my questions via text or e-mail. Within walking/biking distance to Abott Kinney & the beach (by foot, a little bit of a hike, but still doable - by car it's quite speedy). The studio itself is equipped with everything you'll need for your trip, and the meticulous design details make it feel like a home away from home. If you're looking to base yourself in Venice for your stay, I really can't recommend this place enough - I'll definitely be back next time I visit!
