This is a really interesting place in a unique location, but it comes with some key caveats. You will be right next to Muscle Beach with everything, good and bad, that comes with it. You can walk to a gorgeous huge LA beach. You will be in Venice. The place is actually quite big with two real bedrooms and some comfy beds, yes it is a bit old and ran down but in working conditions. That's the good part.
Caveat #1: this isn't an "Entire House" as advertised: it is the upper unit of a two units building, both of them on Airbnb. Yes the listing does mention it's an "upstairs duplex" but it is somewhat buried in the "About this space" section... You may have other people renting another unit downstairs, and if you're unlucky like we've were, they'll talk loud and party until late into the night and you won't sleep well. On the last night on another set of guests moved in and there were very quiet and we didn't hear them at all.
Caveat #2: the garage is small and won't be big enough to accommodate anything bigger than a medium sized car. We were lucky to have a medium sized rental car which did (barely) fit in there, but I wished it had been made more clear from the listing. Street parking in Venice is neither easy, cheap or that safe for the content of your vehicle.
The host is very responsive, which was most welcome.
