This is a well located place very conveniently situated in a residential neighborhood and very close to Whole Foods, cool coffee shops, and a very happening Rose Street in Venice. The host lives next door, is super nice and friendly, and is always available to try to make your stay more comfortable. The apartment is spacious and well priced for its size and location. Although it's not exactly up-to-date, it is very serviceable, has many conveniences and amenities, a large bathroom, a pretty well functioning kitchen, and a safe, community feeling. Walking to the beach takes about 15 minutes at a leisurely pace.
