Great location for the price for visiting Venice beach. We didn't use the bikes available since we had a rental car but I can imagine they would come in very handy. We visited all the local beaches and some great bars in Venice and Santa Monica with ease (bars in Venice were walking distance, those in Santa Monica were a short Uber). The accommodation is relatively small but homely. The oven was an old fashioned gas oven which made cooking food a bit of chore and the fridge could be loud at times which was a disturbance for the 3rd member of our party who was sleeping in the living room area which connected to the kitchen. Overall, we had a great time in Venice and we thank Gabriela for allowing us to stay at her guest house.
