I was already familiar with Venice Beach because I live in Torrance, which is about a 45-minute drive, south.
The rental was precisely as advertised. My daughter is home from her first semester at college in Tacoma, Washington. All she talked about was how she really wanted to take a bath.
Voilá! The property has a jacuzzi bath/shower set up. And THAT was a definite highlight of our stay.
James offered to help, if help was needed. The location is one block from the world-reknown tourist destination; a 10-minute drive to Santa Monica, and a reasonable distance from Beverly Hills.
Our 2-night stay was ideal!
