Barbara's Venice Beach Studio is amazing. The location is perfect for wandering around Venice, exploring the beaches and as a base for discovering LA. The studio itself is compact but had ample space for the two of us, with lots of storage, and was stylishly decorated. Barbara was easy to contact before and during the stay and we managed to meet her and her husband a couple of times, both of whom were friendly and nice to chat to. Barbara made using the space simple and clear by leaving lots of instructions for the kitchen, fan, shower etc. One thing we were not sure about before arrival was parking, but on the one day that we did have a rental car we found parking one block away- just make sure you read the signs correctly! We would definitely come back.
