We loved Lauren's place! We go to Venice Beach every Summer and this is our favorite place to stay so far! Only one block from the beach, very close to the Boardwalk and Canals. Also, quieter than most places we have stayed in the area. Really only traffic noise on the Pacific side and those windows are in the bathrooms, so no big deal for us. The space was the perfect size for 2 adults and 2 teenagers, we loved having 2 bathrooms and there was lots of closet space. Kitchen also very nice, though who wants to cook with all of those great restaurants! The place is exactly as described and parking was easy. She provides beach towels, beach bags, boogie boards and lots of beach toys. Highly Recommend!!!!
