Kevin's condo is absolutely fabulous and he is a wonderful host. My family of five stayed at Kevin's place during spring break, two elementary age boys and 3 adults. From the beginning and throughout he was extremely responsive and helpful. My feeling is that he is a really nice human being and a really great landlord!
The condo is located in the best part of Venice. We were within walking and biking distance to everything great about Venice. We walked to restaurants, we biked almost every morning (sometimes stopping at the Santa Monica Pier to ride the rollercoasters), and we went to the beach every day. We usually did a touristy thing midday downtown from about 10AM to 3PM and then return to the house to rest and head to the beach. The house is also very convenient to Disney land. Two days in a row we commuted to Disneyland which took less than an hour from the house. Much more pleasant than having to stay in Anaheim.
Kevin has provided every amenity a family would need to enjoy the area. The fridge was stocked with snacks and juice when we arrived. How nice! Four bikes were provided which we used every day. Large size French press, gas stove, stainless steel appliances were well used by my family. Full on beach toys, buckets, pails, boogey boards, soccer balls, beach mats, beach towels were all provided for our use. Kevin also provided laundry soap, dish soap, shower gel, shampoo and nice quality toilet paper. I think I was the most impressed with the toilet paper. Often times, airbnbs provide the cheapest tp, but not here. Very soft.
Kevin has instructions for everything in his binder. He also provides itineraries for several kinds of humans and interests. The off street driveway parking spot is a huge luxury in the parking challenged Venice area.
The condo has only one bathroom, but our family of five had no issues with working with that because the sink is separate from the bathtub/shower and toilet. If you are comfortable with the people you are traveling with, I would not let having one bathroom stop you from enjoying this great place.
The outdoor patio space with the grill and lounge area were wonderful. We ate many meals outdoors just enjoying our bit of heaven. There are several very tall palm trees that provide lovely shade over the patio is just so pleasant!
We had an extra guest arrive later in the week and Kevin did not charge us extra. He is not trying to nickel and dime his guests. I hope Kevin only gets nice guests who take care of his property!
Thanks so much Kevin for a wonderful spring break!
