The apartment on the Venice Canals is clean, spacious, and very welcoming. Close to good restaurants, an easy walk to a wonderful beach, shopping and incredibly diverse and colorful neighborhoods. Steve is an excellent host--- friendly, knowledgeable, welcoming. He really went all out to make sure the rental was appropriate for our visit to our family who live nearby. The upstairs deck is a great feature--- we enjoyed breakfast up there, a couple of terrific sunsets, and some excellent people watching along the canals. Great value for a clean place in a good neighborhood with a super host.
