My husband and I had a great time staying here with our toddler son. This place isn't very large, but for two adults and a kid it worked out perfectly. Great location in Venice, just a few blocks away from Abbot Kinney and the beach. The colorful accents and funky artwork around the apartment are cool. A few nice surprises for our kiddo, like children's books and beach toys. Keyless entry for the door and gate are really convenient. We were usually able to park right in front of the house, or right across the street. Jesse was very responsive when we needed to contact him during our stay. I would say the downsides are that the heating is quite uneven - one bedroom got very warm while the other stayed pretty cold. (But if you visit in peak season you won't have to worry about that!) Like other reviewers mentioned, you can definitely hear street noise, but we're New Yorkers so we're used to that. :)
