I booked this trip as a gift for my husband to visit with our daughter in CA. He said he would highly recommend this BNB. The hosts are very nice people. They contacted us right after we made the reservation with their phone number and address details. They made Rich feel very welcome and even provided cream for his morning coffee - a big plus with him. He said the place itself was very nice, very clean, much nicer and more space than a hotel room and super convenient to the beach and everything else in Venice. He said he would definitely go back and told me I should stay there when I visit our daughter. He and I also think it is a very good value for the money and much less than we paid for a stay of the same length at a nearby hotel. Five stars at least for this bnb and Joe and Judy!
