David's place is a little gem on a quiet Venice neighborhood street. My boyfriend and I stayed for 8 nights while on a film assignment, and it was a perfect stay for 2.
The design of the space is lovely - the wood floors are beautiful, as is the large bookcase filled with books and interesting objects, a rolling ladder that leads up to the bedroom, a quaint kitchenette, and a large shower with a glass roof to let the sunlight in. It's kind of fun to climb a ladder up to your bed, like a treehouse (unless you have to pee in the middle of the night, haha). The space is photo-worthy, has great natural light, and also has a nice cross breeze when you leave the windows and sliding doors open. No AC needed.
Location-wise, it's a short walk to Abbot Kinney, and an even shorter walk to Lincoln - meaning access to tons of restaurants and shops in Venice. There is also a unique, premium grocery, Erewhon, 10 mins walking distance.
David is a thoughtful host that provides a lot of little things you might need - like coffee and tea, an iron, a hairdryer, variety of toiletries, beach towels, full length mirror, etc.
Lastly, David is extremely quick to respond and communication was easy peasy.
I would definitely come stay again!
