The studio on the southwest corner of the complex was the perfect location. I took my pup with me and we both got used to the convenience of having the beach so close. The boardwalk is roughly 200 feet from the studio and taking a walk down that way was never boring. Venice beach locals start their day as early as I do (7am). It was refreshing to take a walk for a cup of coffee at Menotti’s and be greeted by people hanging on benches, going for their morning jog, or walking their dog. Venice is so welcoming, you just got to take your headphones off. You might hear a ruckus at night, but it’s Venice and the chaos comes with it. I used to live in Venice and truly missed its chaos compared to the suburbs of San Jose. The studio is detailed with essentials that make your stay cozy. I was there for a month and was especially happy to have a blender and a blow dryer already in the studio. Highly recommend.
