Stayed here with my girlfriend and absolutely loved the house and it's location. Easy walking distance to Venice beach, and also in a lovely sleepy street with easy access to other areas of Venice by car. Joachim's house is extremely clean and peaceful. Joachim shares the place and is a guy who likes to keep a low profile, but also extremely helpful and available if you need him. Just be careful - in the US they tow your car if you park too close to a fire hydrant. Not a law we have in Australia, we learned the hard way. Joachim was amazingly helpful when we had to deal with that too. A sweet room, in a sweet house, staying in arguably one of Venice's best streets. highly recommended.
