Pretty cool pad to stay in at Venice beach. One house back from the boardwalk but next to a large parking lot so there are good ocean and people watching views. Good that it's near Rose Ave and it's great spots like Exhale yoga, Moon Juice and the biggest Whole Foods in CA. Unfortunately lacked some basic amenities like soap and tissues or any food or coffee like most other BnB's offer at that price so BYOStuff and the host just gave me the door code and did not provide any sort of welcome or local knowledge but as a seasoned traveler with lots of extra hotel toiletries, who likes to buy his own organic foods and enjoys his privacy this did not really affect me as much as it might for others.
