We have enjoyed our family stay very much. The house is very nice and fully equipped for your own BBQ party. It has a modern style and includes some artwork. The house is located next to the canals and just a couple of blocks to the beach or nice shops. The neighborhood is pretty quiet and they ask you the same. Andrea & Ed live next door and give you the best combination of privacy and hospitality. Everything is thought through like the digital lock to enter the house or the option to rent the garage. We haven't used the spa but it looked very well maintained. Venice is a convenient location to explore L.A. and to develop a community feeling close to the beach. We definitively recommend to rent the house.
