I rented this wonderful house a block from the Venice boardwalk and beach for one month, mid February through mid March and I really loved living there!
Brooke is extremely responsive and quickly remedied anything that came up including purchasing new things for the apartment that would make me more comfortable.
The area feels very safe and is very quiet. Though there's a bustle down at the boardwalk, the apartment feels none of that activity. All beach construction around Venice lacks sufficient insulation so there could be the noise of footsteps from the upstairs airbnb when rented out but there's no noise from the crowd a block away.
The apartment feels spacious and comfortable. The main room that contains the living room, dining room, and kitchen has a beautiful high ceiling and a calming decor. The bedroom has a very comfortable queen bed and the bathroom is clean and fresh too.
There's also a patio area where you can sit inside a gate to the beachwalk, at a table outside under lights strung across the trees. It's really very comfortable.
Lots of restaurants and stores are a very short walk away. The garage, washer/dryer, and bike make it that much more convenient and easy too.
I highly recommend Brooke's sweet apartment by the beach.
It felt special to be there!!
