I suspect if you are looking for an AirBnB in Venice Beach, California you want the funk and culture that is available in Venice versus the beach sophistication available in Santa Monica. I love this apartment. It is perfect for a couple or in my case a single who was looking for some peace and quiet after a chaotic conference in Las Vegas. It is a little tucked away but you will soon discover that the privacy is perfect. The apartment has every amenity you can think of and the host goes out of his way to make sure he selected the highest quality items. I would choose this apartment versus a suite in Santa Monica, but that is how I roll. The local canals and restaurants are truly special. This is a den of tranquillity in the chaos that we love in Venice. The Parin-Daniel apartment is why use AirBnB versus booking a hotel room.
