My family and I stayed at Frederiques cottage in Venice in Sept for 3nights and couldn't be happier with our experience.
This was our first Airbnb experience so didn't know what to expect but it exceeded all our expectations.
As we were driving into LA from Vegas we were delayed several hours by the unexpected traffic, but Kate the property manager was so accommodating that she was still able to meet us at 8.45pm when we'd initially planned 5pm, which made our experience travelling with two young children 4 and 1 much easier.
Regarding the property it is immaculately presented with all of the mod cons we expect in modern life. It is perfectly suited with easy access to Venice Beach, Santa Monica, Marina Del Rey, Canals, Abbot Kinney shopping district (which was great to get espresso coffee) and whole foods.
I would definitely recommend this property as it is top notch and a much better option than staying in a hotel.
