First, I’ll mention that this was my first AirBnb stay so I was a bit apprehensive. Turned out to be a great stay for our group of five. The hosts were very responsive to any questions I had and made check-in a breeze. The location was great. As soon as we arrived we walked to Abbot Kinney Blvd and then Venice Beach. Now I know why I keep seeing Abbot Kinney in the reviews! Lots of interesting stores and eating opportunities. The property is far enough into the neighborhood that it was very quiet and we felt safe during our stay. There are secure gates with “keyless entry” and a code for entry.
Amenities included a washer/dryer and lots of towels. We were provided some laundry pods to get us started. Kitchen with plenty of dishes and cooking utensils. There was an electric kettle (used for tea!) and a Nespresso coffee machine with pods (really enjoyed that!). Just no microwave, although we really didn’t need one during our stay. We did utilize also the outdoor firepit to make s’mores!
It was a very short drive to a Whole Foods, CVS, Ralph’s grocery, Starbucks, and Chik-Fil-A.
The only things to keep in mind are that you do need to climb stairs to access the property, which is noted in the property description. Also, there isn’t central A/C but there are window A/C units that work well in each bedroom.
I would definitely recommend this property and would stay here again!
