Lisa’s home is cozy and true to the description that was provided. She was out of town but provided us with easy check in instructions and a thorough list of places and restaurants in the surrounding area. The bungalow is a 20-30 minute walk from downtown Venice and a 15 minute walk to Abbot Kinney. The beds and couch were super comfy and having the hot tub and roof top deck was a nice addition to the space. The added bonus was the shower and tub - heats up fast and the water pressure was amazing!
If you are thinking or renting this place for a vacation or weekend getaway, you have to be comfortable sharing the space with the person living in the back unit. She is very nice but after the first night, we didn’t want to bother using the roof top and jacuzzi past 5pm, especially since the jacuzzi is right on top of her living area and we were told she can hear the jets go when it was being used. It’s also a shared space so you’d have to check if the rooftop and jacuzzi is being used or wait until she’s done if you want a more intimate experience/ don’t feel like being social. We mainly stayed in the house and the front outside space as we were instructed that there was no noise allowed outside past 10pm.
Overall, our stay was pleasant and my husband had a really great time for his birthday. If you’re cool with sharing the rooftop and jacuzzi, plan to go out in the evening, or turn in early, this place is perfect. If your looking for a place that is dedicated to you where you can enjoy the amenities as you please, then I’d consider another AirBnb.
