There is no better place to stay when visiting Venice Beach! Marilyn is an incredible human and her hospitality and kindness made the whole trip that much better. She knows all the best places to visit in the area and even has a special Google guide map and collection of menus from near by restaurants.
The home itself has a very relaxing energy. The openness and natural light of the space combined with the variety of thoughtful art pieces really helped me to disconnect and recharge. The garden is a perfect spot for eating breakfast or lunch. I must also add to be aware she has two adorable cats wandering around! They pretty much do their own thing but if Jasper warms up to you, you might get some cuddles.
You will be in a great location as well; I would skate 4 mins down to the beach regularly and catch the sunset. Also, about a 1 min walk from the house is one of the best taco places I've been to in a while. Overall expect a perfectly excellent and relaxing stay! I hope to visit Venice again and will 100% be checking here first!
