Jays Venice beach cottage was even better than expected.
First, upon arrival we were surprised at how private the house felt. The house is decorated very nicely and has a great ambiance. There is plenty of outdoor lounging space from the front patio to the backyard that has a very Zen and relaxing feeling.
Then, you can't beat the location, walking 5-10 minutes to the West is the beach and Venice boardwalk, walking 5-10 minutes East puts you at the shopping and restaurant scene of Abbot Kinney.
The only thing about the place is that it's street parking and it can fill up very fast. This wasn't a problem because we parked the car before 5pm and then took Uber / scooters around to everything else.
Overall I would rate it 10/10, I've done a couple other airbnb's before and this has been the best experience so far.
Thanks again Jay!
