As they say, location is everything and this place is a short walk from Beach and local attractions and restaurants. The host Alix was very helpful and friendly, the rental has the feel of a classic funky beach house.
The only negative I have to say is about Venice Beach area in general. I was traveling with my young son and we both found the dozens of homeless people in the beach area both sad and a bit of a bummer as quite a few were foul mouthed and ranting. This is no reflection on the hosts of course just a heads up for families traveling to the Venice Beach area.
