Erick made us feel welcome from the start. There was a bottle of wine chilling in the fridge, and he let us know that we could contact him for whatever we needed.
Venice Villetta is charming. Not only was it is artfully decorated, but front yard also provided for outdoor eating and off the street parking..a definite perk. The location is great. There is even a Whole Foods a few blocks away. We'd definitely stay at Erick's again if we return to Venice.
