Cathy and Davoud are the kindest and most welcome hosts. Very friendly and very sweet people. The house is just as described in the ad (quiet, clean, lots of sun) and full of useful staff (towels, shampoo, lots of kitchen amenities etc). Bonus a very beautiful “visitor” in the yard - a squirrel! (we love animals). Though the house is just a block away from the busy boardwalk of Venice, it is very quiet! So, depending on your mood, you can either have isolation or just walk down the street and be in the middle of everything that’s going on there or even go to the huge beach for a swim or surf. If you are a walker, you can also go on foot to the close-by famous streets, Main or Abbot Kinney where there are lots of restaurants, cafes, shops etc. Everything is so near. The parking space (if you have a car) is a huge plus because it’s hard to find parking in Venice. Altogether, it was a nice and very welcoming experience. I would recommended it anytime!
