I highly recommend Barbara's place. Her space was clean, equipped with everything we needed (and more), and located seconds from the Venice Beach pier. I had read some reviews on other properties saying that you do not want to be close to the beach in Venice, but that is not the case at all for Barbara's. She is near a beautiful, quiet strip of beach perfect for walks or tanning, but within walking distance of the more eclectic boardwalk if you want to explore. Barbara was also a pleasure to deal with and reached out often to make sure we had everything we needed. I would stay here again in a heartbeat.
