The worst thing about writing a true review for Mel’s fabulous cottage is that it will be booked fully for when we need her place in the future!!!!! Mel is a wonderful hostess and her place is absolutely perfect!!!!
We had visited in Venice many times and had not heard of the neighborhood called “the walk streets”. Built in the same era as the Venice canals. Mel’s cottage is in the midst of this lovely walking area. Her home and garden courtyard are so inviting. She offers a full kitchen with dishes cookware and basics: condiments, spices, sugar coffee and tea. The main bed and sofa bed are very comfortable and have cozy pillows and linens. A classic claw footed tub and excellent shower, ample fluffy towels and hotel like toiletries and a hairdryer make for easy travel.
If you choose to rent a car Mel has a parking space, but we walked everywhere!!! It is easy to access many fine eateries for breakfast lunch and dinner. We ubered to other restaurants in Santa Monica but there really is so much very nearby.
Mel is a gracious hostess and fine communicator. We look forward to our next visit with her
