The house is great other than a few issues (needs a lot of updates and Central AC). Lindsey is an amazing host and will work with you to make sure you have a pleasant stay. Venice beach has a bad homeless problem and the location of the house is right in the middle of it. Be prepared to lock up your stuff at night and have your garbage bags torn open every morning! The end of the walkway to the beach is a big homeless community which needs to be bypassed to access the beach. We had a great time and enjoyed our stay, but it’s definitely important to be aware of the situation around the house if you’re not familiar with the area.
