You will love this charming house in an awesome location! Loved this pocket of Venice Beach w several options to leave the car and explore on foot the beautiful promenade sidewalks, few blocks to Abbot Kinney Blvd w great shops and restaurants/ cafes and nice bike/ walk to Venice Beach or explore Venice canals. House had plenty clean linens, towels and extra blankets if you need. Heat or A/C to adjust temp of house. Kitchen has all you need to prepare food if not eating out - Whole Foods very close for groceries. Option to sit at dining table, 2 person counter or kitchen nook. We were comfortable as a family of 7 - we did rent the cottage as well for extra bathroom and sleeping space, but for our meals in and hanging out together, we were all in the house. (Sleeping would have be a little too tight for our liking if we didn't also rent the cottage, but would still be do-able if add the air mattress.) It was a bit cool when we stayed for Xmas holiday, so we did not take advantage of sitting out in the cute little backyard b/w the house and cottage (a shared space w the cottage). This house feels as if it has been very loved and taken care of through the years. Gabriel was very responsive for the beginning and addressed any of our needs promptly. Instructions are very clear and he provides all the information you need for your stay. Don't hesistate to book!
