We really enjoyed staying in Hamid's bungalow over Christmas. It was so nice to be able to bring our beloved dog as well! Hamid was a gracious host and very communicative. The bungalow is in a really wonderful location. Although it's not facing the water of the Canals, it is literally a 60-second walk to the Canal walkways, 3-4 minutes to Venice Beach with its selection of restaurants and bars. We also were able to walk to Abbot Kinney for some day-after-Christmas shopping! The bungalow was clean and well appointed. Hot water and fast wifi....not sure you could ask for more.
