We were nervous about booking a house with no reviews, but it worked out very well. My family and I enjoyed our month at Max's rental house. The living room/dining room is even more spacious than it appears in the photos and the couches are nice and deep. Overall, it's bright and stylish. The kitchen is modern with a new dishwasher and plenty of counter space and a large washer and dryer.
The location is amazing – three quick blocks to the beach and one block off Abbott Kinney. The house is on one of the last blocks that still has that funky, old Venice flavor.
There were a couple of issues and repairs to make early in our stay but Max addressed them promptly. Otherwise, he gave us plenty of space. Even though the rental house sits next to the main house, it all felt very private.
Worth noting that proximity to the beach and other popular spots means parking can be tricky to find, especially on weekends.
We would definitely stay again.
