I have an abundance of positive things to say about our say in this Venice Garden Retreat! Our host Chris was friendly, welcoming, and helpful upon arrival and for the duration of our stay! Situated in a calm, quiet neighborhood, yet still conveniently located to Whole Foods, restaurants, yoga studios, the beach, and really, entertainment of all varieties, travelers are sure to get plenty of rest and relaxation without ever being at a loss of adventures to be explored! Once we arrived the car was parked and we did all of our transportation via bicycles which Chris kindly loaned us! I believe this is the best way to truly experience the area in a leisurely, fun way, especially since most of the main streets and beach access are only about a 15-20 (give or take) minute ride away! We really enjoyed the artistic touches that creatively brightened up the quaint, airy bungalow and opening both doors to the patio you get a feeling of letting nature in and having plenty of space! I feel the renting rate is a steal for such a unique place and again being so centrally located! This was my birthday vacation trip and it is one that will be long remembered and happily revered! Thanks again Chris for being an amazing host and making our trip extra special!
