Very comfortable condo, about a block from the beach. At the same time it has a nice secluded quality away from the hubbub in Venice Beach. I know the word “hidden gem” is overused but it seems appropriate here. The hosts, Elena and Ilya, were very polite, courteous, and responded promptly to questions. This was my first vacation in a while in LA and, with the available parking spot, a great base to explore the area, plus one can’t get bored so close to the beach! The condo abounds with many thoughtful touches from the well-equipped kitchen with cooking plate, and even mixing bowls and Tupperware, to plenty of towels, a nice resort style bathroom, and tv with Netfilx & Amazon Prime. There’s even a faucet at the entry to wash off any excess sand. The bed is super comfortable and there’s a pull-out sofa. There’s a fan and heater available too and an AC was frankly not required. I look forward to booking again in my next trip to the area!
