We loved our Experience at the Venice Original Private guest house! Our Host Patrick was right on point from the start. The experience was flawless from request to book though checkout. As a first time Airbnb user I would definitely stay here again! Patrick provides you with tons of information on the suite and his neighborhood. The kitchen is well stocked with the tools to make great meals and you are close to Whole foods. Area restaurants go from trendy and chic to casual. It is about a 20 minute walk or roughly a mile to the beach, canals, or Abbott Kinney area. There are two cruiser bikes for your use but we decided to walk to better enjoy the charming neighborhood, local shops and fragrant flowers in bloom. The Superbo right around the corner has a delightful brunch and great cup of Joe. Inspite of the unusual slightly wet weather we had a fabulous time! So many great touches and attention to details!
