First off, we were going to stay closer to Venice beach. Don’t. Even if you can’t get dates at Andrews place, stay somewhere south of Venice beach. I brought my wife to LA for a business meeting, but we came a few days early for a mini vacation.
What sold me on this place was that it was the only place with a king size bed. I couldn’t be happier! Bed was big, comfortable and clean. The place is 5-10 minutes from a very nice beach, some good eats, and the pier. Parking worked out well, but anything bigger than a Compact car would have been an issue. We rented a Jeep Renegade, and it was just able to fit in the spot. Andrew was quick to respond to my questions, and very friendly when we met. I ended up taking some surfing lessons at the beach, and it was close enough to walk back and forth.
Anyway, the description is accurate, the host was fantastic, and the area is charming.
