James’s place is the perfect base for a fun-filled stay in LA. Got rental bikes? Well you can easily explore Venice and Santa Monica, there’s no steep hills to worry about, there’s heaps of cycle paths and on a lot of the roads there are dedicated bike-lanes. Four wheels? You can hop straight on to Venice Blvd within minutes for quick access to Fairfax, little Korea, Hollywood and beyond or head West for a day in Manhattan or Malibu beaches (we rented a two door Jeep Wrangler and it easily fitted in the rear gated driveway with still enough room to open the rear tailgate) and for all you bipeds out there, it’s a nice, leafy level stroll to Abbott Kinney Blvd - shops, cafes, restaurants, liquor store. Venice Boardwalk - fast paced, people watching Mecca - and Erewhon supermarket - organic food heaven! The house itself feels like a home from home with a really cool mix of older original features and new, stylish amenities. It’s super handy to have access to Netflix and Prime, the cable option is great for news, the Wifi is fast and it’s all coupled with super comfy sofas! The kitchen’s well equipped with more nice features (super stylish sink and a retro stove) The bed is solid and really comfortable, and being at the back of the house, there’s little to no street noise to be heard.
You’ll have a Grand old time at this Venice bungalow and I’d highly recommend a stay at James’s place the next time you’re exploring Los Angeles.
