Mona's beach unit, in the heart of Venice Beach, CA was exactly what my husband and I were looking for as far as having extremely close access to the Venice Beach Boardwalk (one minute walk)! I used to live in LA so I knew what I was looking for in a beach unit. The location is 5 star if you want to be right at the beach! FYI for those who have never been to Venice, CA, it is 'cool' and yet still grungy, more so at night. Santa Monica is to the north and the Venice Canals, and even Marina del Rey are walking distance. The unit is also close to Abbot Kinney Blvd. with the trendy restaurants and stores.
I needed a unit with a parking spot which this one has. Heed Mona's words that the space is tight and difficult to navigate into especially if there is a car parked in the unit across from the parking space. We fit a Mitsubishi Outlander (small SUV) into the spot with some room to spare on both sides but it helps to have one person navigating outside of the car while someone is backing into the tight space. Mona offered us to come before renting to see if the SUV would fit but we took chance and just booked the unit.
Mona was quick to respond to my questions before I booked her unit as well as when we booked the unit. We requested more towels and they were delivered the next day as well as a new hair dryer, which was appreciated. Mona also responded positively to my feedback re: improvements that could be made to the unit. I look forward to renting Mona's unit, again, and look forward to seeing the improvements of this very cute unit.
