My girlfriends and I got to Venice Beach before check-in and I was apprehensive of where we would be staying, since the area seemed heavily populated by loud tourists. I was pleasantly surprised to find The Villetta in walking distance from the beach, but far enough away that we were able to enjoy our own safe, uninterrupted space. Erick greeted us upon arrival and made us feel 100% comfortable making The Villetta our home and suggesting his local favorite spot for fish tacos. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED for anyone looking for a clean, private, convenient and charming getaway :)
