Cannot rave enough about this stay and experience! This was a cozy and beautiful space in a charming garden courtyard, tucked away right on the Venice Canals and just a few minutes walking distance from Venice Beach and Marina Del Rey - a perfect location. As someone without a car, this was also a very convenient spot for public transportation (you can easily get to Santa Monica and Culver City, for instance). Rita is the best host and person - so generous, warm, considerate and goes above and beyond to make sure you are taken care of and have everything you need! She was also kind enough to give me suggestions and recommendations for the Venice area and LA overall. I did a month stay here while looking for an apartment in LA, and I really felt like this place was my home because of Rita's hospitality and because the space itself is so warm and inviting. If you get the chance to stay in this lovely place for any amount of time, you have to take it!
