This place is one block off the Venice strip, so if you like being close to the action this is your joint. If you need it quiet the noise is variable and it s Venice so the drunks and crazies can whoop at night. It's literally on block from the sand and beach...and the riff riff, so perfect for adventurous souls like us, but maybe overwhelming for the more faint at heart. The place is really neat and is cool like the pictures suggest, but older than the pictures suggest. We enjoyed our stay and our host is quite responsive and helpful
