We had an incredible, restful stay at Dan's place in Venice and are already talking about doing it again! I was so thrilled to find his listing primarily for the included studio space and drum set, so we could gather a handful of close musician friends for a few nights of jamming and recording. The studio has a great setup, and our group had no problem loading in and getting up and running.
Dan was proactive in his communication and quick to respond about even the tiniest details. We considered replacing a drum head at one point, and Dan offered to compensate any expense we took on.
The pool and hot tub were an awesome bonus and made the entire stay feel retreat-worthy. The house is in a nice neighborhood and close to multiple main strips, but our group didn't end up going out once since we were having such a perfect time at home. Cooking and grilling were a breeze, we did end up bringing in our own bakeware and baking staples since we do more of that than the average guest.
