5 stars all around. Cy is a fantastic host - just one of the nicest guys you'll ever meet. He was incredibly responsive, had helpful suggestions on where to go and where to eat etc. And you can tell he cares about his apartment and making sure that his guests are totally comfortable. The place is modern, updated with nice tile, has a cool vibe and some hip local art on the walls. The shower is lovely and the water pressure is incredible. The unit is located pretty much right on the beach, walking distance to all the sights (Venice boardwalk, skate park, touristy shops, abbot kinney, venice canals, tons of restaurants). Everything you need is right there. We'll definitely stay here again.
