Great, spacious, recently updated place on a quiet street in Venice. The place has everything you need for a comfortable short or longer stay. Super close to everything - Abbot Kinney with its stores and cafes is literally around the corner. About 7 minutes walk to the beach. You can get your groceries at Erewhon Market (about 10 minutes walk away) and fix a meal at home in a well equipped kitchen or you can just go get coffee at Blue Bottle or lunch at Butcher’s Daughter a block away. There is a driveway next to the cottage where you can park your car which is great to have in Venice. Richard was a great host. Although we didn’t have a chance to meet in person, we communicated really well via email and text. When I decided to stay an extra night he was able to accommodate me without any issues. I’d highly recommend it to other visitors to this part of LA and would definitely stay at Richard’s place again when I’m in town.
