Carol was an amazing host!! She provided very clear and detailed instructions on getting to the house, gave great recommendations on things to do when we arrived early, checked in with us and was always so responsive! The place was in the best location possible and it was very comfortable for my boyfriend and I. We were able to walk just about everywhere (beach, shops and bars). The neighborhood is very nice, quiet and safe. We especially loved walking through the canals, it is so peaceful and pretty! We really enjoyed our trip to Venice Beach and will be sure to rent Carol's home again. I would highly recommend it to anyone considering it!
