Kelli's place is perfectly located if you're looking to explore Venice and the neighboring beach communities, or to be based in that area while enjoying the rest of LA. We found that most everything was as described, and her communications and instructions prior to our stay were timely, thorough and helpful. While we enjoyed our visit in general, unfortunately we had to contend with an ongoing challenge to access the property. Kelli always responded promptly and resolved the matter quickly, but this was a repeated inconvenience that left us feeling a bit disappointed. In addition, the table and chairs inside the studio were unpleasantly flimsy and tiny, leaving us with no comfortable sitting options. Otherwise, we had no major issues with how the studio was appointed: the bed was decent, the kitchen and bathroom were adequately outfitted for our 4-night stay, and we were able to keep warm and dry during some chilly, stormy December weather. (The complementary wine certainly helped in that regard!) We noticed typical urban noise, which quieted down at night; nothing disturbing. Parking was not a problem. Privacy was never a concern. If access to the property was more trouble-free, and if the furnishings were more comfortable, we'd be more inclined to recommend the place without reservation.
