This spacious studio apartment is a second floor, open, airy, and bright space in an older building steps away from the Venice Beach boardwalk. You are literally a half-block away from the sand. You can see the water from the corner of the apartment. After staying here for a month, I loved how I could stroll out for daily, long sunset walks without worrying about paying for parking. The apartment is modestly appointed, but felt up-to-date with modern touches. I appreciated the full sized fridge, kitchen stocked with cooking supplies, and large, spacious bathroom with a nice shower. The neighborhood is lively but felt safe, and the building has a nice patio space for people watching and relaxing. Boris was very accommodating and went out of his way to meet a few of our needs (unrelated to the actual apartment.) He was always kind and helpful. The Venice Beach drum circle on Sat and Sun nights is straight out on the beach and provided some lively and exciting entertainment. Overall, my month here was a great way to immerse in Venice Beach culture and experience. The location can't be beat. The apartment was nice for the value and I'd love to visit again.
