Kate is the consummate host - friendly, responsive, warm, and welcoming. I loved meeting her and her partner. Check-in was a breeze. The studio is charming and very comfortable, a perfect spot for a single traveler or couple to call home while in Venice. The area is super walkable to abbot kinney and the beach, and felt safe. Everything was clean and well organized. The garden patio is a little oasis of calm and beauty. Highly recommend staying here and look forward to returning next time I find myself in Venice. Thank you Kate!
