Vanessa and Uncle Al were the best hosts ever. As many times I have been in LA as a younger man, I never had such a great stay. My wife and kids had never been to LA but now have fallen in love with Venice. Property is clean and spacious. Neighbors were friendly and walking distance to the beach. The communication was amazing. We never just felt like "renters." Uncle Al and Vanessa were always available with any questions. I would stay here before going to Beverly Hilton or Beverly Hills Hotel, where we were originally planned on staying. 5 Star all the way.
