We loved it. Venice Beach was the last stop on a long trip through the US and we enjoyed the quiet and calm neighbourhood. We loved the fact that there were bikes, that we could use to explore the area. We would go for short rides to Abbott Kinney, the Beach and down to Santa Monica Piers. The garden house is beautiful. Tiny, but it has everything you need for a short stay. Most importantly it was super clean, which we came to appreciate a lot through many Airbnb experiences in the past. Marco's father Bill was very helpful and very quick in communication. We felt very welcomed, it was beautiful.
