We had a great time visiting Venice Beach. Cy was an excellent host, super friendly and welcoming. He gave us a tour of the studio on arrival, covered all the basics including an excellent list of recommended venues in the area. We had no trouble making it to the beach, you're only a few steps away from everything. Loved the Amazon Echo and fast wifi. All amenities were exactly as described in the listing and photos. Parking spot was great to have. Overall we had a great experience and really enjoyed our stay.
