I had no idea Venice Beach could have such an upscale feel. The neighborhood of this air b and b couldn't be any nicer. Picture little back streets with the most beautiful little homes next to the Venice Canals. Lots of jump bikes and scooters that can be left anywhere so I would scoot to beach and back no problem. Left my car parked while enjoying Venice and Santa Monica because it was so close. If you are wondering about location and convenience don't give it another thought. The space itself is gorgeous- beach bags with towels, scooter helmets, ironing board, light galore, full length mirror, lotions, hair dryer and huge HE washer and dryer. EVERYTHING you could want is here and done so beautifully. The bed was super comfy, wifi was great...Not a single thing I'd change. Greatest healthy protein and smoothie place for breakfast at the beach called the juicery I think. Also the italian restaurant with the flapping screen door was to die for, also at the beach. Can't recall the name. LA beaches are incredible. Check out Manhattan beach, just a short drive and worth it. Talk about exclusive with miles to walk or bike along beach. I would suggest renting a bike vs the jump bike. Renting a bike is $8. an hour with locks provided. The benefit of the jump bike is you can just drop it anywhere. I came back thinner and feel more fit than when I left! Thank you for everything. I don't stay in air b and bs twice, but will be back here and after I posted pics- friends already requested the link. Just wow. Oh, self check in tip...one code for outer gate, there is another code for air b and b door- that has two handles- make sure you open door turning BOTH HANDLES simultaneously.
