This is an absolutely lovely home right on the canals in Venice. The hosts are equally lovely folks whose company I enjoyed very much. Wifi and comfort items are good and the owners attentive. I hope to stay there again on my excursions to LA.

Practical considerations:

I wouldn't stay here with small children. The house is full of highest quality furniture And porcelain.

This is the Canals. The houses are compact. While this house isn't small by Venice standards, if one is craving spacious accommodations, go to a motel.

In sum, my feeling was that I was staying at one of the very best boutique hotels in LA only with a location none of the genuine hotels have. My thanks to Angelo, Diane, and Ernesto for the honor of sharing this extraordinary home.
