“Disclaimer” - This was my first Airbnb so I don’t have anything to compare it to -
The Zen Beach House far surpassed my expectations going in. Tucked in the backyard of a lovely house in Venice, it’s close enough to freeways that it feels central regardless of where you want to go for the day- but not so close to hear them! There was an adequate amount of privacy and I was pleased with the option to use an air conditioner which was something I noticed was relatively rare in other listings nearby. Located very close to a lot of local shops / food on Abbot Kinney and Lincoln Ave. Bikes with locks were included at the time of my stay, and with Venice beach/boardwalk 25 minutes by foot being able to hop on a cruiser and get there in 10 without needing to rent it for the day added a ton of value to this beach getaway. The final noteworthy aspect of my experience was how timely David was with his responses- I asked multiple questions at all hours of the day and night and always received a prompt and accurate response, I promise local knowledge prevails and I urge you to consider any suggestions he offers you during your stay!
