We spent the long labor day weekend at the loft and what a great experience we had. Lisa has everything setup to run smoothly from check-in to check-out. This isn't simply a great alternative option to a modern hotel room, this is on completely different level. Everyone will appreciate this space, fans of modern architecture and design (like us) will appreciate all the details even more.

You get a FULL modern kitchen with EVERYTHING you could need; optional garage parking just steps below you, private roof top deck, blazing fast internet, and a wide range of TV stations with many movies channels (good if you spend a bit too much time out in the California sun). Lots of these things you will never be able to get even in a high end hotel room. In other words, it feels like home - a really nice, well decorated, well designed, clean, modern home chocked full of bonus amenities One that you could move in and really live in - which I would in a heartbeat.

You are literally a 30-45 sec walk from having sand between your toes. It is really close to the heart of Venice but it feels enough removed that it's a bit quieter and more neighborly feeling. You can easily walk to many places, if you have access to bikes I highly recommend taking Lisa up on her offer or bringing/renting your own. The Marvin Braude (aka The Strand) bike path is awesome. We rode it simply for people watching and used it to get to Santa Monica for some morning coffee runs or to catch a bite to eat. Santa Monica and Venice kind of blend together and everything is close enough that you can explore both for two different kinds of experiences - all from this one great location.

We plan on coming back soon and often.
