We absolutely loved our stay at Sebastian's Venice home. We were spoiled for choice when it came to seating areas, as the outside yard is full of lounge chairs, tables, couches, etc. and the living room is cozy with an L-shaped couch (in front of a huge flat screen with all the streaming channels). The backyard gets mostly late morning/early afternoon light and we soaked it up as much as possible given the unseasonably warm November weather. We also hosted a small Thanksgiving meal for our immediate family, and found the kitchen fully equipped with everything you might need — from measuring cups and mixing bowls to a four-burner gas stove, sharp knives and lots of workspaces. Both bedrooms are super comfy with a ton of drawer and closet space, cozy linens, and a variety of different pillow types. The heating system worked super well on cool nights, and all windows have screens for when it's warmer and the bugs come out. Speaking of bugs, we did have a small ant situation in the kitchen and bathroom, but it's an older house and was easy to remedy with some traps, which Sebastian kindly offered to cover. The bathroom is a great size with strong water pressure in the shower/tub, and shampoo and lotions for use. Sebastian was super quick to respond to any and all inquiries (although it was a self-check-in and out) and street parking was mostly available right out front. The location really is superb for getting to the beach, Abbot Kinney and Santa Monica. Can't recommend this gem of home enough!
