Perfect place to stay next to Venice canals. Just 5 mins walk to the beach with lots of food choices around. Also very accessible with public transport going to Santa Monica Pier and Downtown LA. The hosts are very busy people and are usually not around but I was able to have a small chat with Max before we left and he seems to be a cool and kind guy. The room itself is very comfortable with lots of books and personal artworks which makes it homey. And the two cats roaming around are so cute too! :-)
