If you're looking for THE Venice experience than this is the place to stay for its proximity to Abbot Kinney and Venice Beach. It was perfect in size for me, my parents and sister's family (we each had our own bathrooms!) and the roofdeck was perfect for cookouts and dinner with friends. Kid-friendly and a garage were also plusses. Also nice to have thorough house instructions. Though I know the area well and visit often, the location and everything were made easy by our hosts. Missing the SoCal beach life already!
