Although I’m an LA native, this was the first opportunity I’ve had to reside in Venice. Abbot Kinney is one of my favorite neighborhoods and Tommy’s place is a short hop away. It’s an oasis in the bustling and condensed wilds of Venice. The lovely landscaped path to the cottages, was fragrant with freshly bloomed jasmine. And, it must be said that original craftsman homes are my favorite.
The space was perfect for me, although I mostly slept there. I’m sorry I didn’t bathe in the clawfoot tub, but it was great for a nice hot shower. The kitchen is exactly the right size and I liked how it blended into the dining and living space.
Tommy was friendly and super communicative. I really enjoyed meeting him. I also met a few neighbors who were really cool. I don’t recall having that experience before. This little street in a maze of tiny streets, has a buzz all its own. It was fun and unexpected.
