What a great spot! The space is very well thought-out—lots of storage and outlets, Kiehl’s products in the shower, huge fluffy towels, and Heath dishware! The patio is lovely, and it’s a nice quiet street. It’s a bit of a walk to the beach but Bird etc scooters are plentiful and there’s bike lanes all the way to the pier, and it was a fun way to get around when we didn’t want to deal with parking our rental. You could definitely get away without a car if you just wanted to stay in the Venice area the whole time. We went to Gjusta based on seeing the menu in the guidebook and my only regret is not going there earlier in the trip and stocking the kitchen with dips and bread! Also check out Night+Market if you like Thai food.
