This was a super neat experience! Staying directly on Venice Beach was awesome! Free bikes to use to get around was a real gas saver! Me and my friends ended up using the bikes to go everywhere. The place was nice and cleaned up when we arrived and we were greeted by the handyman who works on everything on the property.

Beware though, you wont be toured around the place which was weird. We arrived in LA and we were expected (with emailed instructions) to enter the premises which was really awkward. You will literally have zero contact with the host. Also, very slow communication response. The handyman was awesome and nice and showed us around the duplex and showed us where everything of ours was.

But don't let that discourage you! this was an amazing place to stay and WAY under priced! I wish we stayed longer here. And at least, like most places in California, you wont have trouble finding parking!
