Joanne and Ian's place is adorable, well-appointed and spotlessly clean. Even the complimentary shampoo and conditioner bottles matched the bathroom walls. They also have a beautiful garden below the guesthouse, complete with a pond and native flowers. The location is accessible to downtown Venice (the boardwalk and Abbott Kinney), but in a quiet residential area that'll guarantee you can actually catch some Zs at night! Ian--we unfortunately never met Joanne-- was a gracious host. I stayed for a weekend and wish I could have longer!
