We LOVED our Thanksgiving week at Denise’s sanctuary. Her Spanish revival home oozes character, charm, and warmth. The kitchen is bright and airy and was very well stocked with everything we needed to cook our holiday feast. The beds were so comfortable; and it was nice to have two full bathrooms.
We appreciated the quietness of this Venice neighborhood. And since we are travellers who love to park our car and walk as much as possible, it was a treat to discover that Denise’s home is a walker’s paradise: half a block to Rose Street restaurants and shops, six blocks to Venice Beach, a short (20-30 minute) walk to Santa Monica Pier, as well close proximity to the trendy Abbott Kinney district that has fabulous restaurants and shopping. The front garden area is romantic and has a lemon tree that was bursting with lemons.
The bonus for us was meeting Denise, who is a welcoming and wonderful host. She made us feel like we were in our home away from home. We will definitely return the next time we’re in Los Angeles. This is a special airbnb.
