An oasis indeed! Susan's home provides a cozy retreat from the busy of La La Land, yet is located right smack dab in the middle of the heart of Venice. I loved being walking distance from all the great cafes on Abbot Kinney and Venice beach! You'll be surrounded with really interesting art pieces and bright colorful walls in Susan's charming home. The private garden was such a treat, and for me a perfect space to meditate and enjoy the breezy ocean air. Susan herself was a delight, and extraordinarily accommodating of anything that came up throughout my stay. She allowed plenty of space and privacy, but also was such a pleasure to talk to whenever we ran into each other. Her two kitties, Will and Grace, were so cuddly and adorable. Definitely recommend staying here, especially if you're searching for that true artsy Venice experience.
