I just wanted to say thank you for allowing me to rent this place. I will definitely be back. I work 80+ hours a week in Banff and so probably spent more time sleeping and chilling out in the place and on the beach than anything, which was exactly what I needed.
Fyf Fest was amazing but the location of this little suite cannot be beat. To pay 300$+ a night for a dull hotel is silly, when you can stay at this fun studio right on the Boardwalk.
Mario was incredibly communicative and accommodating. From an early check in, to taking my bag up to the place from the store without me even asking. He even offered to drive me from the subway to the music festival we were both attending, which was above and beyond any normal expectation from a host.
My only negative comment was that I was only able to stay in Venice beach for 3 days. My next trip to California will be much lengthier and I can't think of anywhere I'd rather stay. I highly recommend this place. Check in and directions were a breeze. I uber-ed everywhere and all within 10 minutes.
You are literally right on the boardwalk, with all its craziness and creative beauty. You can hear the waves and it was really nice to wake up and just sit on the bench outside and enjoy the peace and quiet before the busy foot traffic started around 9.
Mario has the cutest little shop as well, I plan to spend more time shopping next trip! Thank you so much and if you're ever in Banff let me know, I'd be happy to offer you any trips with Brewster Travel Canada for free. Cheers! :)
