We loved our stay in the Venice house! A short block and a half walk to the Venice boardwalk and about a 10-15 minute walk to Abbot-Kinney. Every morning we walked or biked the boardwalk to Santa Monica. Very comfortable, spacious and clean. Nice amenities. Wi-fi worked great. TV worked great, especially since my husband and son were dying to watch the Michigan vs. Michigan State college basketball game that is the big rivalry game where we are from. We all slept great on the comfortable beds. The kitchen had all the amenities and appliances of home. We loved that is was so peaceful and quiet, especially considering that all the Venice Beach activity is only steps away. There was a skateboard competition on the boardwalk the first day we arrived and we could hear the announcer on the loudspeaker (which we didn't mind. We loved watching the skateboarders). That was the only noise all week and it was over by 5 pm. We really loved the "tree house' balcony, especially! It was a little chilly when we were there or else we probably could have spent all our time on that large balcony strung with little lights! There were a zillion hummingbirds in the overhanging trees zipping all over the branches. We had many a glass of wine and cocktail on that balcony. We definitely would consider staying here again !
