Great place in a great location. Good communication, easy access if you can climb two small sets of stairs, nice privacy. Sparkling clean, possibly cleanest Air BnB I have stayed at yet. Nice simple decor (I'm not a fan of the over-decorated Air BnB, this was modern and sleek and not overloaded.) Amazing location, in the heart of Venice CA, steps from the beach. Considering the location it was not very noisy, although admittedly I was there in the middle of the week during the off season.
The one thing that is audible is the garage gate when the owner of the vehicle gets out the car in AM. (The unit is above a garage, and is the locally common wood-frame building.) But that is a SMALL price to pay considering that the unit doesn't share any walls with anyone else, so besides the moderate traffic background (to be expected in the middle of a city), the garage gate is really the *only* thing you hear in the apartment.
Also, parking is not included. I had no trouble finding street parking within 5 minutes walking distance, but that could be more challenging during the high season. That said, you don't really *need* a car in this location - everything is accessible on foot, and getting cabs or ride share is a breeze in this neighborhood.
Five stars all around, I'll be back.
