I never met Frankie in person. Just communicated via text.
The place was awesome! Very basic with all the right amenities. The best part of the home was the bed on the top floor. It's tricky getting up and down middle of the night when using restroom, especially for a tall person. Banged my head on the wooden frame twice ^.^
The AC at the entrance and top floor was a MAJOR help. It was a hot summer weekday when we arrived. The beach was literally several foot steps away.
The other blessing was the parking in front of the door. MAJOR plus, considering how cutthroat Venice is with finding parking in the street.
And i'm so glad there was a stove. Tired of microwave grubb :)
The doorknob could use some attention. Few times we left and wondered if it was locked properly.
Overall, a total pleasure crashing here.
