GREAT location for Venice and Santa Monica Pier! We stayed here for a brief time during our Honeymoon and Patrick was so awesome that he bought us champagne to celebrate! We were in and out exploring most of the days we stayed there and found the location to be about a 5-minute drive to the Venice Boardwalk and about a 10-minute drive to the Santa Monica Pier. There was ALWAYS parking outside the house, so we didn't have to deal with driving around to find a spot (which I hear is pretty typical near Venice). It was EXACTLY what we needed for a place to crash in-between the beach and boardwalks. THANK YOU PATRICK!
