Lauren's place in Venice Beach is everything! Less than 2 blocks from the beach, in a safe and quite street. The apartment is fully furnished and is really, really huge and bright! We haven't used the kitchen but you could find everything you need to cook, if you'd like. The place was also super clean and we really felt at home during our staying.
Lauren has been really welcoming, and helpful and supportive with our requests - such as keeping our bags after checkin as we had a late flight - and it made our experience in Venice even better. Will come back for sure!
