Marc’s a wonderful host! Very communicate, always around if you have any questions or need local tips. The studio itself is very private and we were even able to park in the garage which is located under the studio. Place is very clean and we loved the interior! We used the bikes for 2 days straight and did not use the car to get around Venice and Santa Monica, really enjoyed not being stuck in LA traffic for some days. :-) Abbot Kinney, Rose Avenue, all cool shops, restaurant and bars are very close and bikeable or even walkable. Yet place is in a quiet neighboorhood and we did not hear anything disturbing during the night/evening. Bike ride to the beach and Venice Skatepark takes about 10minutes. A/C and heating all worked perfectly. Also only 20 minutes to West Hollywood/Melrose by car. In n out burger is just a 5min bike ride away. ;-) Nothing bad to say at all, we had a perfect week in Venice and felt like locals, riding our bikes through town and walking to get our morning coffee at Superba or Deus. Would definitely stay at Marc’s place anytime again if possible and highly recommend to anybody staying at his air bnb when exploring the beachy and coolest area of Los Angeles. :-)
