Location is amazing, steps from the beach and a quick walk to Abbot Kinney. If coming with a car be prepared to deal with difficult or expensive pricing options. My personal plans kept changing, which resulted in repeated delays to my actual arrival date. After booking and in the lead up Alba & Mike were super responsive and communicative. I was planning on a long-term stay, but apartment was not conducive to the occasional work-from-home day. Apartment did not get much daylight, and being an older building you could hear everything--every skateboard that went by, the downstairs neighbor's sneezes, etc. I also think the unit could use a bit of a refresh to bring back to crispness of when photographed. Overall, I would say that this is a spot if coming in town for a weekend and want an awesome Venice location, would not suggest for a long-term stay.
