I loved Alba and Mike's place! Very ideal for a short stay and for someone who doesn't have a car as the building is half a block from the beach and a very short walk to Abbot Kinney. It is also relatively close to Santa Monica and Mar Vista but the only downside is it isn't super close to a grocery store - I didn't mind walking (Uber/Lyft are obviously options as well). The apartment is also bigger than the photos appear so it would be great for a single person or a couple. I will say that Venice is filled with homeless people roaming around, which made it feel unsafe at times. The building itself is pretty run down, but the apartment unit is well maintained and relatively clean. Brand new appliances, including stove, microwave, and pots and pans so you can cook any type of meal. I would definitely stay here again. Thanks, Alba and Mike!
