Kevin and Susan were great hosts. We arrived early and they had the place ready and waiting for us. They have done a wonderful job with the guest house, the decor is really lovely and cozy. You can keep the big windows open because the weather is always awesome in CA, it was so nice to have all the fresh air. Even though the guest house is in their backyard we felt like we had our own space and could come and go as we pleased. We really loved how open the guest house was since we both love being outside, the outdoor shower was probably one of my favorite parts (you are totally covered). They also have two bikes that you can use which we took advantage of since it is only a short ride to Abbot Kinney Blvd where there are tons of great shops and restaurants or Venice Beachwalk. All in all we really loved our stay in Venice at the Craftsman Mini-me and would love to go back and stay again next time we are in Venice!
