My teenage son and I had a brief but wonderful stay at the cottage. It's ideally located, a short walk to the beach, shopping and restaurants. We loved having the bikes available and rode to the Santa Monica pier. The place had everything we needed, including soap, shampoo and conditioner in the bathroom and coffee and creamer in the kitchen. Didn't see a hairdryer but it wasn't a problem for us. Although we didn't cook, the kitchen seemed well stocked with utensils and cookware. On site parking was a definite plus! A great experience for our short time in Venice Beach.
