We enjoyed our stay in this unique and beautiful neighborhood in Venice. The apartment is very compact but has everything you need for a comfortable stay, and Josie & Paul are warm & welcoming hosts. As others have noted, there is a narrow spiral staircase leading up from the main floor to the bedroom loft. The bed is very comfortable & there are bedside tables and reading lights on both sides.
Having a parking spot is a particular bonus, especially if you will be playing tourist in LA. Venice Beach is on the far west side of the city so you will need to drive (or be driven) to get to most of the more popular tourist sites (ie, studio tours/Hollywood, Griffith Park, museums, etc).
