We had a wonderful time in this spotless apartment. It is in the best neighborhood within Venice Beach, a half-block from the sand but thankfully several blocks south of the beachwalk craziness. It is a walkway street so there is no traffic in front of the house (but a little from Pacific Ave). Lauren's instructions for check-in were very clear and easy to follow. Once we arrived we found the apartment to be exactly as advertised: beautifully appointed, freshly remodeled and very clean. The kitchen is extremely well-equipped and easy to work in. We especially appreciated Lauren's information binder covering points of interest in Venice including her favorite restaurants and attractions.
