We had a fab time. The apartment is spacious, light and very clean!! The whole place is very cosy and relaxing without being cluttered up.
The apartment is in the back of the property on top of the garage, so you have a wonderful view of the canal from the bedroom windows.
The beach and Abbot Kinney are both in walking distance.
Communication with Josie was prompt and easy. Josie and Paul care about their guests, so there are a lot of nice touches, such as a bottle of wine upon arrival, interesting books and magazines in the house, fluffy towels, etc. And they were flexible with our check-in time (we came in quite late).
Another bonus is the use of the bikes (which saves you big bugs: In Venice bike rental companies charge $ 8 per hour/per bike.)
Parking can be tricky, but we always found a space in one of the side streets.
I would recommend this place to anyone, and we are looking forward to returning very soon.
Thanks again!
