We spent 4 nights at Cy's place and everything is more than we expected. It's about 150 steps to the beach and all the restaurants are about 10 min walk from Cy's studio. The best thing we like is the parking space at the front door so we do not worry about finding the parking. The studio has everything we need and the bathroom is fully remodeled.
We definitely book Cy's studio again if we return to Venice beach in the future.
