Number 1- Location location location! We couldnt ask for a better location 1 block from beach, less than 10 minute bike ride to Santa Monica and less than 10 minute walk to Venice Beach sign! Grocery Stores, restaurants and bars also very convenient! Communication with hosts were top notch and response time was great! Description of property is spot on! We were looking for a relaxing getaway plus a beach escape and thats exactly what we got. Quite street especially considering how busy the main street was in the evenings and weekends. Felt very safe and neighbors were great! Also having a washer and dryer was so convenient! Overall great stay!
